Engine

Does anyone have a 3.4 or a 2.8 engine for sale?? If so get back to me as soon as possible. Tell me if it runs good and MOST IMPORTANTLY, HOW MUCH DOES IT COST, DUE TO THE FACT THAT I DON'T HAVE ALOT OF MONEY

85CamaroRulz, you should be able to find a 3.4 for that money. But then I don't know your area. Look a little more. I can get a 3.4 w/28k for $750. just waiting on W2s to do tax return.

something to put a smile on your face while you wait:

I am gonna take my time cuz my car is parked for the winter due to the part of area I live in, I live in the Pocono Mountains of PA. We just got about a foot and a half of snow here last week so to begin with I ain't gonna take it out anyway till about late March or beginning of April so that gives me plenty of time.
ANYONE KNOW ANYBODY SELLING A CHEAP 2.8 OR 3.4

i got a 2.8 from a front weel drive mpfi minus the fuel injection. but the shipping would make it way too expensive for u. CA-PA.. not good for an engine.

im 99.9% sure it would. the only reason i didnt use it in my maro is the heads were different and i couldnt use the intake and carb from my 83 with it. i also believe thatits a lower hp and torque rating. 100hp at the flyweel. i would hate to drive that f-body.

Also, KED85 brought up an issue regarding the starter.

HI Tom,
ACtually, I assumed I could just "Post it" there.
Not knowing any better & I could stil call it back, to help out others, i left it "there".
IF you know how to put that thread into tech section, educate me, please.
The FWD. ANY 60* V-6 FWD. ANY SIZE ENGINE, TOO.
NO, DON't waste a SECOND considering it.
Starter location, heads, exhaust, etc,
ALL DIFFERENT.
To different for the effort.
Honest.
I was just in Hawley & White Mills. My Parents live there. I just missed that 8" of snow. We left Monday for Philly. I saw several third gens in yards as I passed by them, off of Route 6 I believe. Even some down the Jersey way (by Milford).
You shouldn't have much of a problem finding a 60* V-6. Hell, if I could find a 1956 Chevy 2 door post & a 1930 Ford Model A with engine, in the woods, out there, you can find a 60* V-6 that runs..
