what whould be required (besides the engine) to be swaped to put a 3.1 engine into a camaro that originaly came with the 2.8, i have the whole car 1992 camaro 3.1, auto setup (my car, which was totaled)

 

the engine harness, dash harness (depending on yr car being swapped into, may as well swap over the guage cluster ( if copatable). That should be pretty much it since you have the donor car. If teh car is quite a bit older, swap over the interior for an updated look too.

 

wow you have to change the harnesses??? I thought the 3.1 swap was pretty much plug and play

 

iirc, the 3.1 has a ka-nock sensor & the digital/linear egr going for it, along w/the MAF delete thing and an actual bygawd MAP sensor.

 

just swap in the long block, and bolt on the 2.8 sensors, then u dont need to change anything

 

Dave's correct - just swap the sensors and the injectors

 

just wondering how much it would cost to get a 3.1 block?

 

Just finished doing one, $1539 shipped, add $50 if shipped to residence.

I ended up with about $2500 when a repair shop quoted me $6500+.

I am retired Navy, so I had the advantage of using the facilities of the Auto Hobby Shop at the local Naval Station (Submarine Base Bangor), had the use of a lift bay, transmission jack, engine hoist, all the tools I could use....

 

you missed the days when you could get GM long block from $50-300 on ebay.
some guy had a big GM parts sell out. I missed the $50-75 ones but remember the $200 ones around $300 shipped. should of bought 3.
