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
