- 1987 Single-source

Documented applications
- 1988–1991 Single-source
the base engine; Wikipedia's Family II article lists the Sunbird among LT2's applications through 1991, and its Sunbird article names the carryover 2.0 L throttle-body four for 1988 and its replacement by the multi-port four for 1992; no Cavalier order-guide or specification page prints it (the 1991 kit's GM-wide VIN page, p.3, lists it, which is not the Cavalier's offering)
This page aggregates every documented appearance of LT2 in the Pontiac reference. Confidence and citations are shown per application — the same code can be better documented in one year than another.
