need engine

i need a running 2.8.............im looking for the lowest possible mileage ready to be droped in........this is going into an 86 blazer.......and im going to be using TBI.........so manifold doesnt matter........but i do need decent heads on the thing.........im also looking for an engine around that year range... ive heard something about when the 2.8's went to a serpentine setup, the water pump and everything spun the opposite way and i dont want cooling problems. i have a manifold and timing cover with a different water pump just incase.. but im trying to save time and money and get an engine thats ready to just be dropped in


im located in ohio....near akron

lemme know about a legit price.

Re: need engine

3.1 wouldnt work.........no throttle body manifold for aluminum heads. and the cast iron heads i have are junk. it would just be too expensive to get that.
