Hi:
don't think this will work for you. First, the bell housing won't match up. Plus, the 89 has a computer designed to receive info from different sensors. The olds has none of that. I recommend finding an engine out of an 89 caprice.

I realize anything is possible, but the work, money, effort to make this work isn't worth it.
