88 Cradle

[ghrarhg]

I have an 88 GP with a 2.8 and a 282. I'm looking to do a motor swap eventually. I'm pretty sure that I need a new front cradle to swap in anything larger with a larger block than mine. I found this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/3-8-s...QQcmdZViewItem. Its local so i can pick it up. Most of the U Pull yards around here are pretty picked over, and the cradle is usually gone by the time I get there on anything new. I won't be swapping engines immediately, so I guess my question is,
1) can I use this? I was under the impression the front cradles were the same.
2)Will this bolt to my 2.8, and
3) will it bolt to a TDC 3.4 later on?

Thanks Jon

RE: 88 Cradle

I wouldn't think that the cradle would need to be swapped, espeically staying in the 660 family of engines.
