2.8L Intake Manifold to 3.1L Intake Manifold...

Ok so I did a search first and came up with nothing. Now my question is if there is a difference between the intake manifolds for 2.8s and 3.1s. I want to port my intkae manifold but I don't want to lose my daily driver while I work at it. So are they the same?

3.1 Has a vac port for the MAP sensor.

I belive the mounting where the TB goes is different.

the 3.1s have two fittings in the back. the "T" and a single port. the single goes to the MAP sensor.

IF ya need to seek out a MPFI unit, also try a FWD of same early years. I believe up to 1987 is the cutoff for same stuff under those hoods.
It may be a direct replacement for a 2.8 unit.
