2.8 Chevy V6 Oil Pan Comparison

Hi All,

Here is a picture of my 2.8 v6 I just pulled and the oil pan for the 3.1 engines I have. I am now starting to doubt the cost effectiveness of completely swapping engine blocks. I may have to look into getting a RWD block and rebuilding a hybrid motor. Check out the picks.

I now have three complete Chevy 60 degree V6 engines. I will be rebuilding a couple of them. I have two 1999 3.1 and one 1984 2.8 liter motors. I am not sure if I need to get rid of any of them. Hear is a picture of what I have.

The Engine is Out!

I finally got the engine and transmission out of my blazer. I was held up by the nasty cold weather we got but we're back in the 50's for now so I got the engine pulled. I've got a lot of clean up work to do on the engine bay but I look forward to it.

I removed the transfer case today. It went pretty well, I have been getting lots of help form the guys over at the 60 Degree V6 forum. They are all super helpful.

I finally got some new pistons for the 3.1 (3100) engines I am re-building. They are .020" over so the block will need machining as well.

It's been going a little slow on pulling the engine from the S10 Blazer. I finally got some time today and pulled the intake manifold and both heads. This was hard to do today because it was a high of 27 degrees. My fingers are still numb.
