84 impala base engine.,. 3.8L ?
hey all i just picked up a good running 84 impala
i guess it has the 3.8L Olds v-6 in it ?? the base engine through 84 in these cars ? measly 110hp ? is this true ? tell me about the engine, reliability, issues, known problems to repair ? this one has a billion miles on it but it runs good, heck, in 1986 it already had 68,000 miles on it according to the title a salesman drove it when it was new, i was told, thanks

this one is noticeably faster than my 88 caprice with the 305
the impala is 3.8 and thm250c and 2.73 axle the 88 is 305 and 700r4 and 2.56 the caprice is a slow pig compared to this impala good 3.8L engine, ive never owned a 3.8 RWD before, im pleasantly surprised!  its gonna be a great winter beater may end up selling/trading the caprice off now

Re: 84 impala base engine.,. 3.8L ?
Good find.
My 85 Impala has a GM 350 swapped in but beware. I ran a car fax report after having it for a month and discovered that mine had at least 5 odometer rollbacks. I have no idea what the real mileage is on mine, but it only had one owner before me, it runs fine, and it's paid for. Good luck with yours.
