* Small-block V8s: These were likely the most prevalent. Specific displacements included the 5.0L (305 cubic inch) and the 5.7L (350 cubic inch). These were often carbureted.
* Large-block V8: A 6.6L (400 cubic inch) V8 was also available, though less common than the small-blocks. This too was generally carbureted.
* Inline-6: A 4.3L (250 cubic inch) inline-six cylinder engine was also an option, particularly in lower trim levels or work trucks. This was also carbureted.
To know the *exact* engine in a specific 1984 Chevy Silverado, you'd need to check:
* The vehicle's identification number (VIN): This will provide the most definitive answer. A VIN decoder can be found online.
* The engine bay: The engine itself will have a casting number that can be cross-referenced.
* The owner's manual (if available): This will specify the engine type for that particular truck.
Without more information about the specific truck, it's impossible to say for certain which engine it has.
