Brand new 2.8 Shortblocks for $200!!

Since the last 2.8 was available in 1993 all the 2.8's have been sold by gm to independents. This is a gm distributor and bought almost all of them. GM no longer sells a 2.8 crate engine because they sold all of theirs, they cant stockpile everything , theyd loose money so after 10 years they normally sell all inventory , and tooling and dieing equipment to independents.
