| Engines | ||||
| LD5 | Engine, 3.8L V6, 231 cu in, 2 barrel | 1983–1985 | shared B-body powertrain code, cited from the Chevrolet Caprice kits, which print LD5 as the 231 cu in 3.8L V6; Wikipedia's Eighty-Eight article names the 231 V6 as the standard engine for 1983; for 1984 and 1985 no Delta 88 source names the engine except the article's generation infobox, which lists the 231 V6 for 1977–1985 under the code LD7, a code Wikipedia's Buick V6 article dates to 1977 only GM Heritage factory kit — 1983 Chevrolet Caprice, p.15. GM Heritage factory kit — 1984 Chevrolet Caprice, p.6. GM Heritage factory kit — 1984 Chevrolet Caprice, p.38. GM Heritage factory kit — 1985 Chevrolet Caprice, p.40. | Factory-verified |
| LV2 | Engine, 5.0L V8, 4 barrel, 307 cu in | 1983–1985 | Oldsmobile 307 Rocket V8; Wikipedia's Oldsmobile V8 article lists the LV2 (VIN code Y) for the Oldsmobile 88 for 1980–1985, and its Eighty-Eight article names the 307 as a 1983 option and the 1985 cars as the last with Rocket V8 power; 1984 from a 1984 Royale Brougham with the Olds 307 (The Truth About Cars); the Caprice kits of these years show the Chevrolet 305 (LG4) instead, so no factory page prints the code for this car | Single-source |
| LF9 | Engine, diesel, 5.7L V8 | 1983–1985 | shared B-body powertrain code, cited from the Chevrolet Caprice kits (1984 also from the air-conditioning weight remarks); 350 cu in; Wikipedia's Oldsmobile diesel article lists the LF9 for the Delta 88, and its Eighty-Eight article names the 350 diesel as a 1983 option GM Heritage factory kit — 1983 Chevrolet Caprice, p.13. GM Heritage factory kit — 1984 Chevrolet Caprice, p.7. GM Heritage factory kit — 1984 Chevrolet Caprice, p.38. GM Heritage factory kit — 1985 Chevrolet Caprice, p.9. GM Heritage factory kit — 1985 Chevrolet Caprice, p.18. | Factory-verified |
| Transmissions | ||||
| MX0 | Transmission, 4 speed automatic, overdrive | 1984–1985 | shared B-body transmission code, cited from the Chevrolet Caprice kits (the 1984 page prints MXO); Wikipedia names the THM 200-4R four-speed overdrive automatic among the generation's transmissions, while the kits pair MX0 with the 700-R4 (1985) and with the 700-R4 or the 200-4R (1984), so the code is matched to the Delta 88 by its meaning, a 4 speed overdrive automatic, not by one unit; the 1983 Caprice kit shows the overdrive automatic without a code, so 1983 is left out GM Heritage factory kit — 1984 Chevrolet Caprice, p.39. GM Heritage factory kit — 1985 Chevrolet Caprice, p.41. | Factory-verified |
