LeSabre — B-body (1983–1985)

the standard engine of the coupe and sedan (VIN code A); Wikipedia's LeSabre article names the 231 V6 in each of these years but prints no code, so the code is matched to the car by meaning; gnttype.org's 1984 and 1985 Buick VIN tables print it for the LeSabre Custom and Limited; 1984 rests on those two non-kit sources (the 1984 kit's LD5 page has no readable model year, and its dated page names LD5 only beside LC3); shared B-body code; cited from the Chevrolet Caprice kit

optional (VIN code 4); Wikipedia's LeSabre article names the 252 V6 as a 1983 option, dropped for 1984, and its Buick V6 article prints LC4 for the LeSabre; gnttype.org's 1983 Buick VIN table prints it for the LeSabre but repeats its 1984 table word for word, so it is not counted as a second source; 1984 and 1985 are left out: gnttype.org's 1984 and 1985 tables and the Buick V6 article's application line also give it, but the LeSabre article says it was dropped for 1984, and the 1985 NICB manual's Buick engine table prints VIN code 4 in its 1984 column but not in its 1985 column

the Oldsmobile 307 V8 (VIN code Y), optional on the coupe and sedan; Wikipedia's Oldsmobile V8 article prints LV2 for the LeSabre through 1985 and its LeSabre article names the 307 in each of these years; gnttype.org's 1984 and 1985 Buick VIN tables print it for the LeSabre (its 1983 table repeats the 1984 table word for word, so 1983 rests on Wikipedia alone); the Caprice kits of these years show the Chevrolet 305 (LG4) instead, so no factory page prints the code

the Oldsmobile 350 cu in diesel (VIN code N), optional; Wikipedia's Oldsmobile Diesel article prints LF9 for the LeSabre through 1985 and its LeSabre article names the 350 diesel in each of these years; gnttype.org's 1984 and 1985 Buick VIN tables print it for the LeSabre; the 1984 kit citation is p.40's heavy-duty battery remark (with RPO-LF9 diesel); shared B-body code; cited from the Chevrolet Caprice kit

matched to the unit by meaning: Wikipedia's LeSabre infobox names the THM200-4R four-speed automatic for the generation but prints no code and no year; the 1984 page prints MXO; each page prints its own model year; 1983 is left out because the 1983 Caprice kit shows an overdrive automatic with no code; shared B-body code; cited from the Chevrolet Caprice kit
