There's no single answer without knowing the specific options of the particular 1988 Caprice Estate wagon you're interested in. To determine the exact engine and transmission, you'd need to check the vehicle's documentation (like the owner's manual or a build sheet if available), or look for the engine and transmission codes on the vehicle itself (usually on a sticker or plate under the hood).
