Code Option Years Notes & factory source Confidence
Engines
L46 1.8 L (112 cu in) L4, OHV, carburetor 1982
the launch engine, replaced by the LQ5; Wikipedia's Cimarron article (infobox and text) and its 122 engine article, which gives the Cimarron 1982 only and names a 2-barrel carburetor
Single-source
LQ5 2.0 L (121 cu in) L4, OHV, throttle-body fuel injection 1983–1986
the OHV engine enlarged to 2 liters for 1983; Wikipedia's Cimarron article (infobox and text, which dates the 2.0 L from 1983) and its 122 engine article give it to the Cimarron 1983–1986 (the 122 article also says LQ5 was introduced midway through 1982, but its applications list gives the Cimarron L46 for 1982 only and LQ5 for 1983–1986, and the row follows the applications list); the article names no four-cylinder after 1986, so 1987–1988 are left out
Single-source
LB6 2.8 L (173 cu in) V6, multiport fuel injection 1985–1988
an option from 1985 and the standard engine for 1988, not available in the Cavalier or Firenza sedans (Wikipedia); Wikipedia's Cimarron article (infobox 1985–1988) and its 60-degree V6 article (Cimarron 1985–1986 and 1987–1988 in two lists) give the years; shared J-body code, dated for the Chevrolet Cavalier by its kit's optional equipment weight pages in each year, which never name the Cimarron
