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.
Isnt there a 3.1 or 3.4 GM V6 thats a direct swap for the 2.8? Seems like I read that a long time ago someplace. Try doing a couple internet searches, you may stumble onto something.
