Re: Is this an L98?

Most likely not an L98, but an L05, which is a 350 TBI truck motor.

Re: Max wheel horsepower for 3rd gen converrible?

Fuel economy is why. GM made no official 350 convertibles. All of the 350s are either 1987 (maybe 88?) Customer Converted Camaros or 87-89 Firebirds. It's the same reason you couldn't get 350...

Re: READ ME! Before asking "Is my car rare/Desirable?"

It's an 88, the 10th digit of the vin denotes year, which is a J thus translating to 88. I am unsure as to what tags you are referring to when you say they indicate 86.
