MIne was a 84 Honda Prelude wrecked and needed engine rebuilt. Mom and dad got me a new set of Craftsman tools and dad got the parts and said fix it and that when i started learning about how to fix cars at the age of 14. No i have ny 86 K20 our Yukon and we still have her dads 92 S-10 Extracab 2.8 5 spd.

2.8's

yeah, the 2.8 has a hard time getting out of it's own way but I do have to say the one I had was extremely reliable!! Never a problem with it and being 16-20 when I owned I was NOT easy on that thing and it never let me down. Just don't go up any long hills without plenty of momentum behind ya

Man you guys and your 2.8 hate. Mine runs great and has plenty of getie up.

I think of the 2.8/3.1 as a housefly banging against a window pane. It keeps going non-stop or what seems like forever with very little power.

I don't hate the 2.8. It's just not good for getting places quickly

I love the 2.8, but in MPFI form (used in fwd). I think an '87-'89 multi port 2.8 would be very fun in an S10, too bad GM never did it.

 

[smurph20]

Isnt the MPFI system in the front drives close to the same thing used in the camero's arounf the 87 years.

I always wanted to do a 3.1 MPFI Blazer using a Camaro/Firebird engine.

'85-'86 FWD multiport was basically just like the F-body setup. The '87 and later FWD's had better flowing aluminum heads and a different intake. They are zippy, reliable, efficient, and the exhaust produces a mean and nasty growl with no cat and a turbo muffler.
