2.8 to 3.4 what do I need??????

I'm interested in this swap and I'm afraid to do a FI swap since mines a carb this will be my first swap what would I need to do with the wiring and suck. How would I go about wiring my car.

In your case, I would just do a carb'ed 3.4

the wiring hassle to change to a MPFI would be way more work and effort needed for a v6 car.

Pretty much this. All the swap really is, is putting everything from the 2.8 onto the 3.4 block and heads. Read the tech article on it as well. I'm in the middle of this swap myself and I tore down the 3.4. Intake, timing cover, manifold everything down to the block and heads, and will put my 2.8 stuff on in its place.
