I had an 88 Cadillac Cimaron with a 2.8 and I loved it. It had 209,700 miles on it when I gave it to a guy and the only real engine problem I had with the thing was an intake manifold gasket. Even with over 200k miles it still got 30 mpg and only went through a quart of oil every 2500 miles. Not bad for a "high mileage" car. I only have good things to say about the 2.8!!!
