so I have been doing some research about the motor swaps in the XJ/Camaro, kind of swaps.
First I thought of bore and stoker for the 2.8L 2bbL witch could be bringing it up to the 3.1l/3.4l Range. But in order to get that bore done the motor needs to be taken out. in this case I just managed that since It is a lot easer to build then swap then I was thinking of just doing a Camaro swap of the 3.4l
So then I did more :bang: so I found that the 3.4L GM 60-degree V-6
is a pretty much bolt on but guys and gals I don't want to upgrade to TBi that is just to much work for just a one man job (been there done that-CRX) so I wanted to keep if NA, I remember I had a few Camaro racing friends and they where saying they always raced with carbs but I cant remember if he had said there was away to toss the FI and go with the Intake many off a Carb and run with the carbs
Most Likely the goal is to go with Removing the 2.8l v-6 Which I believe is the LR2 was a truck version ("B-code") produced from 1982 to 1990
and replace it with a carbed Motor, and it needs to pass smog laws so it has to be new then the 86 I believe i'll bush up on that again
Crap Life is catching up with me at the moment i'm going to have to chime in again later
don't want to be stupid and since I am on a different computer, I gess it would be ok to site sources:

But I want to stay far way from the FI:smiley-scared003:i am ok with fabrication and bolt-ons as well :)
