I believe that 60* 6's make their power because of fuel injection. The carbed 2.8's were pretty weak. But if you do want to carb a 3.4, Edelbrock probably makes a manifold for it. I know they do for 2.8's, so that one might fit - am I right anyone?

As far as I know (which ain't much), the bolt patterns should be the same form 3.4-->2.8, so yeah, it'd work. And actually, for some racing seies, they still use carbed 60* blocks, but not the stock crappy 2bbl.

Go get a carb & intake from a 1985 & earlier S-10 Blazer.
It'll fit perfect.
But, why?
Vman is so correct, the FI makes this motor sing!
I have a carb 1985 S-10 Blazer. No comparison between the two engines.
