Need a good 2.8L (Page 1/2)
EMSguy4you JAN 27, 06:38 PM
87 GT (V6 2.8L with auto trans) - engine blew up, its toast. Need to replace, looking for a good running, lower mileage full engine. Live in SC, area code 29316. Will gladly give you my blown up one (lucky you) and whatever $$ we agree on. I’ve scoured the internet, LKQ, junkyards, tried a dozen different websites - several are selling either overpriced ones ($2,500) or ones claiming to have 60/70/80K miles that CarFax then says have a gazillion miles on them.

PLEASE only reply if you have an engine for me and are quasi-local or know of someone who is. I’m not rebuilding it, I’m not putting something else/different in her, and I’m not traveling cross country.

Archie (V8 Archie) had a 2.8 auto on a cradle with low mileage for $1500.00 listed last week. Could be worth a look and a drive to Vegas.

Rebuilding the original 2.8L engine is the 'cheaper' route.....

I picked up a v8 swap and have the original v6 that was in the car. I am in NC just outside of Charlotte.

IF you're removing the engine yourself; this is only one thread of many on the subject:
