Ok, this is gonna seem like an odd question and I know I am gonna hear people say just swap in a v8 or different motor, but this is what I got and limited funds, so here goes.
I have a 1991 Isuzu Trooper with the LL2 2.8l. I baught the ARI 2.8 to 3.1 Stroker kit and added a Phase 2 cam kit. I also installed a 4.3 TBI. This motor is rock solid now. The Trooper it is in is rusting away. Now I have a nice engine with a sucky body lol.
Now here is what I want to do. I found a great deal on a 1989 Firebird with an almost dead LB8 2.8 MPFI. Can I bolt the Trooper LL2 2.8 directly in and just swap the TBI for the MPFI and switch the starter to the passenger side? Is there a huge difference in the 2 blocks and if so what are they?
If I could, I would drop a V8 in, and most likely will in the future. Untill then I have a built 2.8 ready to go. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
