What size motor and transmission come in a 89 Chevy caprice?

The 1989 Chevy Caprice offered a variety of engine and transmission combinations. There wasn't just one size. The most common were:

* Engines:

* 5.0L (305 cubic inch) Small-Block V8: This was a very common option.

* 5.7L (350 cubic inch) Small-Block V8: A more powerful option.

* Transmissions:

* 3-speed automatic (TH700-R4): This was the most common automatic transmission, typically paired with either engine.

* 4-speed automatic (700R4/4L60): Also a common automatic. The exact designation (700R4 vs 4L60) depended on the year and subtle variations.

* 5-speed manual (Borg-Warner T5): A less common option, usually found with the 305 V8.

To know the exact engine and transmission in *a specific* 1989 Chevy Caprice, you'd need to check the vehicle's identification number (VIN) or look at the engine bay itself. The engine displacement will be clearly visible on the engine block, and the transmission type should be identifiable by looking at its external markings.
