1987 Chevy Corvette Engine — Part # U26091 — Union Auto Wreckers-PRP Freight · Union, NJ

When sourcing an engine for your 1987 Chevy Corvette, one of the most critical factors often overlooked is the exact engine displacement and configuration, which directly impacts compatibility and performance. This listing offers a 5.7L engine, specifically from a June 1987 model with rear-wheel drive, matching the original setup for this Corvette variant. The engine's VIN is estimated to start with '8', indicating a particular production batch, which may be relevant for precise matching. This engine is graded 'X' by the seller, a detail that should prompt buyers to inquire further about its condition and any potential refurbishment needs. The 5.7L displacement corresponds to the 350 cubic inch V8, a classic powerplant for this generation of Corvette, known for its balance of power and reliability. However, since the seller notes this as an estimated CO2e savings of 1194kg, it implies the engine has likely been removed from a vehicle and is being resold, so physical inspection and verification of operational status are recommended. When considering this engine, compare it against your vehicle's original engine specifications, paying close attention to the VIN range and any sub-model distinctions. Confirm the rear-wheel-drive configuration matches your Corvette's drivetrain layout to ensure proper fitment. Also, assess the seller's grade 'X' to understand what refurbishment or repairs might be necessary. This product is listed under stock identifier U26091 and is specifically for a 1987 Chevy Corvette.
