I would skip the 2.8, try a 4.3 I like the power better for that size of truck. I've got a 92 with a sport exast with the 4.3 It turnes the tires very good. With the 4x4 you will like the hills better too.

To do a 4.3 swap, you'll need the transmission, and engine subframe too. Might as well just drop a 305 or 350 in it instead.

Wouldn't you also need the computer out of the vehicle with the 4.3? Along with some of the wiring?

Your right "J" I'm thinking too small a 350 would sure turn some heads at the light!
