If its a GM RWD (motor mounts position) 60* V6 block, it will work.

did u mean a jeep 2.8 v6...I can't seem to find a 208 anywhere I would think that as long as its a 2.8 in there now, you could slide a 3.4 under ur 2.8 intake just like has been done so many times on this site

As long as it's an actual RWD GM 2.8, the RWD GM 3.1 and 3.4 will swap right in quite happily.. however, proof of it being a RWD GM 60 degree to begin with would be found through serious web searching, which you are more than capable of doing yourself, hence I'm not going to do it for you...

Wan't Jeep still produced by GM back in 85? I know it was part of the AMC division of GM, and that was sold to Chrysler in the 80s, but what year it was, I have no idea.

easy way to make sure look at like part#'s for cams piston gaskets all the same so the 2.8 jeeps and 2.8 f-bodys, s-10s are all gm rwd 2.8s
