2.8L carburetor

I was wondering if I get a Holly or Edelbrock carb for my 2.8L do I have to replace anything else to make it work/fit.

Also would this a direct bolt in or do I have to get a different intake to make it work?http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

Re: 2.8L carburetor

Why do you need a new carb? That is a crap load of $ for a V6 carb. Unless yours was stolen or blew up I would say fix what ya got. $500 and you are not going to go any faster or handle any better, or even look sleeker? Not the best use of $ unless you abolutly have to get one.

Oh and yeah, should work just fine.

yeah unless you really need a carb that seems like a huge waste, you could probably just buy another camaro for that.

Re: 2.8L carburetor

I really dont think that your car with that many miles is going to do much for it, Go with a exhaust system or MSD ignition or something or do the the 2.8 to 3.1/3.4 if you want it to be quick. Its just a stock rebuilt carb.....Carburetor, Remanufactured, Rochester............................http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

MSD is a waste of money on an otherwise stock engine, unless you have some serious upgrades money would be better spent elsewhere. An engine swap is always a good idea as mentioned above, although if I was going to go to the trouble of swapping an engine it wouldn't be to replace it with another v6, kinda seems pointless, unless it was an LC2 or another turbo application

Re: 2.8L carburetor

If the stock varajet works, use it. Otherwise get a stock rebuilt varajet. The 2.8 carbed is so low hp changing the carb is not going to help it. All you need w/ the 2.8 is for it to run smooth and get good mileage.
