Engine Swap Question
I have a 89 Camaro with a 2.8. If I swapped in a 3.1 Can I still use my headers, computer, transmission, etc. I really don't want to swap everything. This 3.1 will be a build up slowly over time. It will be a perfromance daily driver.

every thing should be a direct swap. except the TPS and IAT, to fix that just use the TB from the 2.8. (Thats what I'm doing.) the 3.1 is basicly a bored and stroked 2.8

The 3.1 shares the same bore as the 2.8, but has a longer stroke. 2.99" for the 2.8 and 3.31" for the 3.1.
