1996 Roadmaster. Needs a headgasket apparently, $600 seems like a pretty good price for this drivetrain.

UGH. so far away. That's a fuel economy hauler project just waiting to happen!

Doesn't say anything about being a wagon?

In reply to gearheadE30: Huh, you're right. My bad apparently my reading comprehension is weak.

Ummm, your profile says "Germany" Isn't everything here gonna be far away?

In reply to gearheadE30:

I think they were all wagons.

They were not. There was a wagon, the "estate wagon," and a four door sedan. Both were based in the B-body platform, but I think the power train varied between the body styles for certain years.

I texted the seller, because why not. It's a sedan.

In reply to KyAllroad:

Haha, it should say "Denver". It used to be Germany :P

He says "exhaust pipe"; LT1 cars with a single exhaust are the short-lived 4.3 V8. Dual exhausts were on the 5.7. So beware that.

Pictures show dual exhaust, so it should be the 5.7.

Worst case is the 305, but I don't think they offered it in the 1995 model

1994-1996 Roadmasters were all 5.7 lt1 I believe.

Yeah, maybe that 4.3 was only in the Caprice, I remembered that later.

I believe you are correct. I think the Oldsmobile, Buick, and Cadillac-flavor cars were all V8s. Actually, it might have been just the Caprice sedans now that I think about it.

In reply to ShadowSix:

This 4.3 is a V8, just a tiny LT based one.

I'm actually quite interested in this and it's not /that/ far away.

Do iiiiittttt

the only non 350 roadmasters are 1991, where 305 was an option. i had a 1991 305 wagon

all 92-96 cars are 350. 92-93 TBI 94-96 LT1.

4.3 v8 is caprice only.

wagon front end is essentially caprice with different bumper cover and grill. same hood and fenders, lights.

sedan front end is completely different, and i've seen a couple wagons with the swap done. i don't think the sedan squared off front end works well with the rounded back of the wagon.

they ride like you're on a cloud floating down the road, and everyone should experience the comfort at least once before they die.

The question is, do I want this probably close to driving LT1 car, the apparently already running and driving '77 Impala with an unknown drivetrain I found in Nashville, or do I want to keep focused finishing my Bravada?
