yours a two wheel drive or a four wheel drive? going V-6 route would recommend 4.3 instead of
2.8. Nothing wrong with the 87 and newer 2.8 other than its been out of production for some time and after market performance parts are scarce. There are also a lot more 4.3's out there, it came in just about everything Chevy built rear wheel drive at one time or another since its introduction.Whitelightning
A 4.3 upgrade is nice however an upgrade to a 3.4 is a more freindly drop in install. It is an improved 2.8 esentially, and will be able to use the same cooling system and at worse will need a chip in the computer replaced.
thank you i will put the 4.3 l in it i would need to fab some but it will be worth it it is a rear wheel driv so it will make it easy on me and my dad we will have some fun with so hey thank any more advice please wright ok chris
