My Grandmother had a 89 Brougham d’elegance with that 307. Great car, only issue it had was later in life the auto leveling started acting a little crazy. She had it until she was t boned by a teenage girl in a Ford Probe. Downgraded to a Crown Victoria.
130-140 hp. Boat anchor. A 3800 Series I can run circles around it.
i had one in an 83 custom cruiser wagon..perfect engine
My great aunt by marriage bought a 1988 Cutlass Supreme Classic brand new with the 307. She still has it today and it's in excellent condition.
So, chevy used this engine? I never saw one.
Chevy used to have a small 262 V8
307 Olds was a great V8, dependable and bulletproof. Ran forever!
I have a Y code 307 in my 84 LeSabre coupe. Very reliable. Keep it up and itll go forever
307 was a great engine.. i had a 403 go 330k miles on the original long block..
What rear axle options are the best for 7A heads 307 and 200R4 (say on a G body)? Some say 3.73:1 is best because O/D, but revving higher on an engine having a low RPM peak torque seems pointless to me.
