    41 Ratsledrodder...I told ya your car likey had a 3.8 Buick V6 in it...and that picture proves it! [​IMG]

    (Distributor in front at an angle, and 90 degree cylinder banking. The 2.8 Chevy engine has narrow cylinder banking and the distributor is in the rear. Some G-body cars also used the 200 or 229 Chevy 90 degree V6, which is a small block V8 minus two cylinders!)

    Kustm52...naw...still cold here with snow on the ground...don't knock yourself out over it...not the best 'working-on-the-car-weather' at the moment!!

    Hack, I like your idea of using a complete FWD setup in your car...
    If you put an other one in the back as well.
    Hide the one in the back really well, show people just the front engine, and race 'em for pink slips...

    I just bought a 3.4 with a 700r4 out of a 94 pontiac firebird for $200. Im gonna try and clean up the braketry (big aluminum monster) and make the fuel injection work.

    I've never heard anything good about the 2.8's, I think the experience you've had with them was just a fluke. On the other hand i'm all for odd engines, and am as tired of seeing small blocks as you are, so go ahead, prove us all wrong.
