Re: Need advice on the best way to build a reliable 2.8

Make sure you get an 87 or newer block - they have bigger main bearings. Or you could go for a 3.1L out of a Camaro. Also, keep in mind these motors have flat tappet cams and need the higher zinc oils.

How many miles do you have on your current 2.8?
