upgrade?
I just found out the 2.8 in my '84 won't last much longer, i would love to upgrade to a v8 but dont have time or money. would moving to a 3.8 require any major changes to like the wiring, cooling, trans or anything else like the v8 would?

Swapping in a 3.8 V6 would be harder than swapping in a small block Chevy V8.

Yea, the 3.8 will require more work to swap in, however their are a couple of people over on the v6 board doing it, so if you really want a 3.8 its definatley possible. IMO, a v8 would be the way to go if your motor is already about to die, or just grab a 3.4 if your still looking for a v6 motor.
