Engines
LC4 Engine, 4.1L V6, 252 cu in, 4 barrel 1983
Buick-built V6, VIN code 4; shared C-body code, also cited from the Buick Electra; Wikipedia's Buick V6 article lists the LC4 for the Oldsmobile 98 through 1983, and its Ninety-Eight article says the 4.1L V6 was no longer available for 1984, so 1984 is left out; the sibling gnttype.org Buick table is not counted for 1983 because its 1983 Electra block repeats the 1984 one
Single-source
LV2 Engine, 5.0L V8, 4 barrel, 307 cu in 1983–1984
the Oldsmobile 307 V8, VIN code Y; Wikipedia's Oldsmobile V8 article lists the LV2 for the Oldsmobile 98 through 1984, and its Ninety-Eight article gives the 307 V8 for the generation; shared C-body code, 1984 also cited from the Buick Electra block of gnttype.org's 1984 Buick VIN table, which prints the LV2 (T3, a sibling source that does not lift the row)
Single-source
LF9 Engine, diesel, 5.7L V8 1983–1984
the Oldsmobile 350 diesel V8; Wikipedia's Oldsmobile Diesel article lists the LF9 for the Ninety-Eight through 1984, and the Ninety-Eight article's generation infobox names the LF9 diesel; shared C-body code, 1984 also cited from the Buick Electra block of gnttype.org's 1984 Buick VIN table, which prints the LF9 (T3, a sibling source that does not lift the row)
