try this web page. It's just power tips for the 2.8, and 3.1L engines

just a warning that the 2.8L is kinda known as a slug, and it's pushing around a fair amount of weight.

I tried everything to get enough power out of my 2.8l and the only thing that worked was to get rid of it and get a truck with a 4.3l.The difference between the 2 motors is night and day.

I understand that a 3.4L chev from a comaro is a bolt in, and all your 2.8L stuff like headers will fit right on, but not nessasarily stuff like alternators so get a complete motor.

I don't know what all you have done but put in a electric fan ,water pump and if you have ac lose it. It eats hp and gas.

An electric water pump is never reccomended for a daily. For track yes, but never for regular use.
