it's normal to engine to stall because alternator won't keep engine running. the field control of alternator goes with the batt.voltage then no batt.voltage no field control then no charge look for good connection at alternator . look for current on one of 2 wire alternator ignition key on (is control by a fuse)
Make sure all peripherals are equipped as the 305 was - so you'll want a pump that flows the same rate as the 305 from the 91. If the 87 has a similar sized engine, the OEM pump should be fine.
almost every rear drive drive full size used the 305 V8, so u can get an engine from a Buick La sabre, Pontiac bonneville and firebird, also Oldsmobile 88, and don't forget Camaro. any 305 chevy V8 will bolt in, also the 350 V8 will bolt in, this is a much better choice..
