Easiest way is to get a motor from a wrecked 93-95 3.4L F-body. The engine is a direct bolt in........you would have to transfer some parts from the 2.8 to the 3.4 however.

Yep

3.4l block, heads, pistons, crank, cam
2.8/3.1l intake, oil pan, timing chain cover, acc on front of engine.
3.4l injectors
2.8/3.1l distrib
New timing chain, all new gaskets except for the heads.

thats the quick wording for it.
Base model is 160 hp/200 lbtq, where your 2.8 is 125hp, and the 3.1l is 140.

Ked85 is the :hail: of the swap. Project 85 is in process now, I am in the process for my s10 truck.

Not sure who else is doing it.
