what other vehicels have the 2.8 v6 rear wheel drive engines. I need a manifold and crank to rebuild one that I have and I was wondering

 

As far as I know, only the GM Blazers used the RWD 2.8. Won't a FWD 2.8 crank work?

i'd also think that crank would work. Now, i've never paid much attention to the FWD version, but is the intake mounted in the same direction, but there's a bellow in the pipe which moves it to fit teh fWD application?

 

front wheel drive 2.8 will fit a rear wheel drive 2.8

I an not sure whether a fwd would work, that is the reason I asked you guys because I don't know

 

When I rebuilt my engine it was knocking.Not to bad though.When we pulled it apart the crank had some light scratches.I was worried that I would have to have the crank turned alot.I didn't want to turn it more then .0010 of an inch.
I had a crank from a FWD 2.8.I called NAPA about the difference.They told me the cranks are the same.Several other parts stores around here told me the same.
