what is the difference between the two? I have a 2.8 In my 89 Gt and it spun a bearing at 164K. I have a 3.1 motor out of approx. 91 Lumina. I was wondering if I could Just take the crank and Pistions/con.rods and put new rings in my 2.8.

Yep, make sure to use the 3.1 crank, pistons and rods and you'll have yourself a 3.1... lolComment

Hi, guys. I am new to the forum, was referred here by a fellow on the Grasroots Motorsports forum.
Anyway, to get to the point. I am planning on rebuilding a 2.8 out of am 88 celebrity that had been run dry of oil. I was searching the web looking for prices on kits and such and came across this site:
http://www.engine-parts.com/GMV6/gm2831stkr.html
It looks like I can get the whole she-bang to put the 3.1 crank/rods/pistons into this 2.8 to make it into a 3.1. The only thing is, I have no idea how much these guys want for the kit. Has anyone here bought from ARI? I guess the next question would be, can I just buy the parts for a 3.1 and get the same thing?
I am sorry if this is a thread highjack, but it seems like this topic was right in line with my questions.

No problem I got my answer.
And to answer your question, yes you can just by the crank, pistions, rods, rings and bearings.
Now another of mine, Can I put the crank and pistions in from the bottom?Comment
