Engines
LD5 Engine, 3.8L V6, 231 cu in, 2 barrel 1983, 1985
Wikipedia's Parisienne article lists the Buick 231 V6 among the generation's engines without a year and without the code, so the code is matched to the car by meaning and the years are the Caprice kits'; 1984 is left out because the 1984 kit's LD5 line (p.38) has no readable model year and its dated page (p.37) names LD5 only beside LC3; shared B-body code; cited from the Chevrolet Caprice kit

LG4 Engine, 5.0L V8, 4 barrel 1983–1986
305 cu in; Wikipedia's Chevrolet small-block article lists the 305 for the Parisienne and Parisienne Safari wagon through 1986 without naming the RPO code, so the code is matched to the car by meaning; shared B-body code; cited from the Chevrolet Caprice kit

LF9 Engine, diesel, 5.7L V8 1983–1985
350 cu in; Wikipedia's Oldsmobile diesel article lists the LF9 for the Parisienne through 1985; 1984 rests on the kit's heavy-duty battery remark (with LF9 diesel); shared B-body code; cited from the Chevrolet Caprice kit

LB4 Engine, 4.3L V6, electronic fuel injection 1985–1986
262 cu in; Wikipedia's Chevrolet 90° V6 article names the Parisienne among the 1985 LB4 cars and lists the 1985–1986 Parisienne under its LB4 ratings; 1986 rests on the kit's air-conditioning weight remarks; shared B-body code; cited from the Chevrolet Caprice kit

GM Heritage factory kit — 1986 Chevrolet Caprice, p.40.
Factory-verified
LV2 Engine, 5.0L V8, 4 barrel, 307 cu in 1983–1989
Oldsmobile 307 V8; Wikipedia's Oldsmobile V8 article lists the LV2 (VIN code Y) for the 1983–1986 Parisienne and the 1987–1989 Safari, the only source for 1983–1986 and 1989, so the row stays single-source; the Caprice kits print LV2 for the wagon in 1987 and 1988 only; shared B-body code; cited from the Chevrolet Caprice kit
