Ok my dad knows a guy who is getting rid of his 1987 Pontaic 6000 FWD 2.8L, no title so ill get it for free. My ? is that will this 2.8 fit into my car? is it multi port fuel injected? Once i get it if i do im gonna take the engine out and strip it then build it up.

i still think you should rent an engine hoist or something, if i show up i aint lifting that shit!!!! i have done an engine swap before, its no cake walk!!

 

[markeemsz]

Listen to the man . An engine hoist is like $25 a day. Those engines are freaking heavy!! Trust me I know . Never knew a 2.2 weighed that much!
