If you mean that it goes down almost all the way, but won't go down the last 1/4" or so, then it's not lined up with the oil pump shaft. Bump the engine around with the starter a little, and it should drop right in.

Will a transmission from a 1986 caprice classic fit in a 1997 Chevy C1500 pickup?

it depends if the 86 caprice has a GM small block 305, 327, 350, or 383, and if the c1500 has GM small block v8 it will fit.. all GM/Chevy 305, 327, 350, or 383 engines have the same bolt pattern for all the transmissions and are interchangeable as long as the transmission came off of a 305, 327, 350, or 383 block it will fit those engine sizes, unless the truck is 4X4 than it wont or you would have to eliminate the 4x4, also it could be a possibility the drive shaft could be to long or to short but most trucks have an adjusting drive shaft so you wont have to worry
