1984 caprice wagon - $4,700

Nicely optioned: PW, PDL, tilt, cruise, pulse wipers, dual remote mirrors, split front seat, gauges, cornering lamps. Can't see if it has pwr seat. Best of all it's got the Chevy 305 instead of the anemic Olds 307.

 

Does anyone else prefer the 305 over a 350? Feel like everyone and their mom puts a crate 350 in their builds.

 

I’ve never heard of anyone who preferred a 305 over a 350…he was stating that the 305 is preferred over the 307 Oldsmobile engine that was the only motor available in a caprice wagon from 1986-1990. 305 had slightly more power and was available on the sedans, 86-90, and coupes, 86-87. It has always been a mystery to me why the wagon got stuck with the 307. When swapping motors out of these cars, yes, a common choice is to install a 350

 

Well now you have!

 

I guess so!
