Re: engine problems

I had an 84 with the GM 2.8. I researched it and the 4.0L will not fit, they had to modify the body, etc. . I rebuilt it once, still lacked power, but it lasted another 45k for a cost of a thousand bucks.
However, I traded it in for my 97 4.0L(new) and it has a lot more power and is better in many ways that 84 cannot be. I still have the 97 and it has 131k on it now.
So, probably for the same or less money, you can get a later model with the 4L used.
