Tshensley Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 My brothers oldsmobile engine needs replaced and all the junkyards in the area dont have any 2.8's available but we have an extra 3.1 out of an early grand prix here at the shop. Does anyone know of any sites that happen to have any info on what is going to be needed to swap this over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUTAN TA1647545492 Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Everything should be the same,as long as its a 2.8 and a 3.1 not a 3100 and the 3.1 is a FWD and not a RWD.as long as the olds is a FWD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
