Would this engine fit in my 89 Firebird V6 2.8L

 

It's stated teh wrong size
It's a 3.8 from an Impala
No, it won't
PS think how much the shipping would cost from Hawaii

 

ARRGGG, I can't believe I don't remember if Impalas are front or rear wheel drive. I believe they are front. If that is the case, no, it will not fit in your car as a boogie swap. Of course with a lot of work you can make just about anything fit and work in your car.

 

I just check chevy's web site. The Impala is available with a 3.4 OR a 3.8. So they did state the right size, but it still won't fit I believe.

 

The new Impala's are Front Wheel Drive and are available with a 3.4L or 3.8L.

The FWD 3.4 has the starter on the bank 2 side while RWD 3.4's have the starter on the bank 1 side. It IS possible to have a machinist add a mounting spot for the starter but it probably isn't cheap.

 

THANKS FOR CORRECTING ME!
I recalled the engine size from the TV ad.
WHo wants to pay shipping from Hawaii, anyway?
So this is what they are doing with the parts & the 60* engines left over from J-Cars (Citation, etc), sticking them into new Impalas? Now I understand how they can still offer over the parts counter 3.4's for sale.
