you have to ck the bolt pattern on the bell housing.they both should be 200 4R overdrive trans.If its a 700 R4 then you need the computer also.87 caprices used an olds 307 thats why you need to ck the bolt pattern,only the police caprice had the 350cid eng.

I owner a 83 and an 85 caprice both had the 5 L engine, that swap probably will work.
