can i bolt a 2.8 multi port to a s-10 2.8 automatic transmission?

[curtis73]

Nope, FWD to FWD only, RWD to RWD only. The blocks are different.

[chevrolet327]

is it the same bolt patern

[curtis73]

Only if you have a multi port from a camaro or other RWD car. www.60degreev6.com is the ultimate source for this kind of stuff.

The answer to your question, is Yes.... Any 2.8 Chevy engine, and I don't care what it came out of, will bolt to a 2.8 S-10 transmission. Same goes for the 3.1 and 3.4 motors that are the 2.8s big brothers. They all have the same bell housing bolt patterns.

You may run into mount problems, or the intake pointing the wrong direction, or even the starter being on the wrong side of the block if you try to put a front drive motor in an S-10.

If your doing a custom swap, most of the differences won't matter anyway. Dan

thank you very much ohio-dan i know the intake and starter are wrong i just want to put it in a suzuki samurai on off road only

The front drive MPFI engine would have the intake opening facing to the rear.... The hot setup would be to cut a hole in the fire wall, run a piece of flexible tubing in, and mount a canister type air filter inside the cab. This would greatly reduce the chance of the motor ingesting water or mud in extreme off road conditions. Same goes with the distributorless ignitions. The coil pack can be mounted securely inside away from heat and moisture....Dan
