Check your local regulations about putting a carbed motor in a body that wasn't available with a carb. (emissions regs)
Here's a popular complete engine, the 330 hp Vortec.
...and the popular ZZ4 engine (carb sold seperately)

Re: brand spanking new

Your 2.8 is multi-port fuel injected. (MPFI) Most states will not let you put a carb'd motor when It was only available with fuel inj. I would reccomend you look for a fuel injected motor. You could always buy a longblock 350 from your local auto parts store, then look here for a complete tpi setup. (engine/drivetrain parts for sale)
Good luck!
