I'm ordering a head set right now for my 2.8 3.4 swap i got the exhaust manifold and oil pan gasket. I was told that they don't make complete engine gasket kits and more that i just gotta buy them seperetely. now would i have all my gaskets i neeed from those 3 sets, (ex. man.,oil pan, head set) that i will need to rebuild it.

 

Don't know who told you that story. I got my rebuild set from GM and it included all the gaskets for the 2.8, 3.1, and 3.4 blocks. Just had to use what I needed for my 2.8 and discarded the rest.

 

oh i ment the fel-pro gaskets, i orderd the head set yesterday they should be comming in tomorrow so i'll get to find out.

 

Yep, you can get a head gasket set, and then just the oil pan gasket + rear main seal.

I don't believe FelPro has a specific KS (engine kit) series gasket set for the 2.8...

 

ya i'm getting the head set tonight i already got the exhaust manifold gaket and the oil pan gasket.
----------
but do u think i should replace the rear main seal since i'm there right now and it won't be as bad as a job now than if would be in a future case?

 

is the exhaust manifold the same for the 2.8 through 3.4 Crate engine. I never had a 2.8 or 3.1 I just recently bought the 3.4L Performance crate engine and just wanted to know.

Thx
Paul

 

if ur doing a swap then get the 2.8 ones if not just get the 3.4 ones just to make sure but i'm like 99.99% sure they would be exactly the same since the exaust manifolds themselfs are the same.
