Sunbird — J-body (1988–1994)

the base engine; Wikipedia's Family II article lists the Sunbird among LT2's applications through 1991, and its Sunbird article names the carryover 2.0 L throttle-body four for 1988 and its replacement by the multi-port four for 1992; no Cavalier order-guide or specification page prints it (the 1991 kit's GM-wide VIN page, p.3, lists it, which is not the Cavalier's offering)

the GT's turbo engine, and in 1990 also the LE convertible's (Wikipedia); Wikipedia's Family II article lists the Sunbird among LT3's applications through 1990, and its Sunbird article says the turbo was dropped after 1990; no Cavalier kit page prints it

the base engine; Wikipedia's Family II article gives LE4 to the Sunbird for 1992–1994, and its Sunbird article dates the change from throttle-body to multi-port injection to 1992; 1994 also from the NICB 1998 manual (2.0L I-4 MFI, no RPO code); no Cavalier kit page prints it

replaced the turbo four for 1991, when it could be ordered on every model but the new base value model (Wikipedia); Wikipedia's 60° V6 article lists the Sunbird for 1991–1994 and its Sunbird infobox prints LH0; 1993 rests on the 60° V6 article (there is no 1993 Cavalier kit); the kits print LHO (letter O); shared J-body code; cited from the Chevrolet Cavalier kit

only in: V6; matched to the unit by meaning: Wikipedia's Getrag 282 article names MG2 as the 282's V6 version (from a 1987 GM service training manual) and the Sunbird among the 282's users, and its Sunbird article gives this generation the Getrag 282 and, from 1991, the 3.1 V6, and Consumer Guide's 1990–94 Sunbird review makes the 5 speed manual standard with the optional 3.1 V6 for 1991, but no Sunbird source dates the code; the kit's MVMA pages for the 3.1 V6 head the base manual line with MG2 (built by New Venture Gear); 1989 and 1990 are left out because the Sunbird had no V6 before 1991 (Wikipedia), and 1993 and 1994 because there is no 1993 kit and the listed 1994 pages print no MG2; shared J-body code; cited from the Chevrolet Cavalier kit

matched to the unit by meaning: Wikipedia's Sunbird article gives this generation the 3 speed Turbo-Hydramatic 125C but prints no code; the kit's MVMA specification pages head the automatic line with MD9 (the 1989 automatic page names the unit the THM 125C), and its order guides sell the unit as MX1; 1994 from the MVMA final drive table; 1988 is left out because the 1988 kit names MD9 only inside a multi-unit power-steering weight remark ("1JC00 - 1JE00 & LL8 & MD9"), which dates no year, and 1991 cites p.41 because p.40 prints no legible model year; shared J-body code; cited from the Chevrolet Cavalier kit

matched to the unit by meaning: Wikipedia's Sunbird article gives this generation a 5 speed Getrag 282 manual but prints no code; 1988, 1990 and 1993 are left out because no listed kit page of those years prints the code; shared J-body code; cited from the Chevrolet Cavalier kit

matched to the unit by meaning: Wikipedia's Sunbird article gives this generation the 3 speed Turbo-Hydramatic 125C but prints no code; 1988, 1990 and 1993 are left out because no listed kit page of those years prints the code; shared J-body code; cited from the Chevrolet Cavalier kit
