Well here's a solid update...
3.4L on the stand

Comp cam 16-232-4

New cam, timing set, and lifters installed

Just about ready to go in

Adios 2.8L

Cleanest the engine bay has been in a loooong time, lol

Ready to drop in. Air pump has been eliminated and the cross tube bungs welded on the exhaust manifolds.

Neutrally balanced flexplate. You need this for the 3.4L swap! Do not use the 2.8L one unless you hate your new engine

Holley Truck Avenger 470 cfm carb and Edlebrock Torker II

Everything connected

Since this pic was taken it's been changed to a dual belt alt setup

2.8L oil pan was reused, along with all the accessories, and timing cover

Any questions?

Next was the rear disc brake swap on the 8.25
The disc brake setup from a KJ was used

Kiss this crap goodbye

Pretty simple stuff. Knock out the old studs and reuse the ones from the KJ

KJ caliper bracket installed and axle shaft back in

The basic idea of the finished product
