the 3.4 conversion kit (im assumming ur talking about the one offered by ari).. is basically them sending u a rebult stroked and bored 2.8 - 3.4 (short or long block) and asking for a core return.. ur going to be alot better off getting one from a junk yard.. the 3.4 will be alot more reliable than the converted 2.8..

I think we have atleast 20+ swappers so far.
Not one has gotten this guys engine.
Think about it.
NOTHING better than a seasoned low milage engine.
I believe that so much I may even get a mtorcycle engine from Indiana sent ot me in LA.
Cause it has 5.5K miles & is complete with carb & starter for my CB 200 Honda cycle.
Then still fix this bad 200 engine I have.
I'm buying a complete engine for less than what I will fix this bad one for.
