FWIW the 2.8 is a amzing LITTLE motor. Tons of power for its size. Other then a 350 its porbly the best motor gm ever built. I have pulled just about every thing you can think of with my 87, incullding a 5500 lb boat( just could not stop it :crossx: ) I tell ppl all the time what it can do and no1 beleaves me, that is untill they watch me do it.
what type of fuel pump does it have? i have a 86 2.8 with f.i. on it and it has no place for a fuel pump.

in tank eletric. Correct me if I am wrong... the mech fuel pump is on the timing cover...swap otu a time cover and your set...its also a serpentine belt set up, but every thing that was on it is now on my truck....so you would have to bolt up your vbelt set up.
in 83-85 engines the fuel pump is mounted on the side of the block and not the cover.
pat(slotracer) :cry:
I think I may know where you can find one let me make a call... get back to you tomarrow.
thanks.

well I found 1. ( 85 out of a auto 4x4) every thing but the carb. he would sell the motor and tranny for 150. Has some thing like 75k miles on it you just would have to come pull it out. It truns over freely, but has not been run in abotu 8 years so rather or not its still in good shape is unknown.
75k is alot of miles for a 2.8. thanks anyway.
