One lousy stinkin' photo is all he can muster? Give me a break.

He says this: "We will entertain all reasonable offers!" Great. I offer you a camera.

 

It has more information than some other ads I've seen.

Per the ad:

"1990 Chevy Caprice odometer: 127177 paint color : white size : full-size type : wagon drive : rwd fuel : gas transmission : automatic title status : clean cylinders : 8 cylinders
condition: fair


1990 Chevy Caprice station wagon. 8 passenger. Rear wheel drive. V-8 engine. Rare find with under 130,000 miles. We will entertain all reasonable offers! Email, call or text.

 

Somebody refresh my memory. Did they carry the 307 all the way through '90 in the wagons or did they switch to the 305?

 

I'm not sure anyone has put a handle on that one. I do know there were differences, depending on which plant it came from and/or whether it was designated a 'California' vehicle.

Just looked up a brochure. My source didn't have a 1990, but the '89 Caprice brochure showed only that they got '5-liter' V8's - the sedan got a fuel-injected version, while the wagons got 4-barrel carbs. One could have been the Chevy 305 and the other an Olds 307, Who knows..........

A bit related; Could a fuel-injected engine from a Sedan be swapped in to a Wagon?

 

Don't see why not, but this would have been the old throttle-body fuel injection, so its advantages are not that great. You would have to do some wiring harness work on it, among other things.... Probably a bit of a chore to get all the dash gauges and warning lights to work properly, etc.

 

LV2 engine code is the Olds 307 unfortunately.

101Volts, you can swap an L03 (305) from a sedan, but I don't see much value in that. If you're going to do a full engine swap (Olds to Chevy) then you might as well put in a 350 or 400. If it had a 305 stock I might entertain some Vortec heads and a better form of fuel injection.

 

Thanks.
