Would it even be worth it to throw a stock 2.8L into my 2M4? I like my car and I'd rather not just buy an different notchie. I'm just somewhat dissatisfied with my 4cyl. Let's say I had a 2.8L + 5 speed tranny + ECU + newer gauges. Would it be all that difficult to hook up? I'd love to drop in a 3800SC but don't really have +3G's laying around. If I could roll a 2.8L conversion for around $1500 I'd jump at it. I have NO idea if that's even realistic, so try not to make too much fun of me if I'm dreaming.

The 2.8 swap is a easy swap to do on a Fiero but... You need to find a wrecked v6 Fiero with a good running motor to be able to collect all the parts required for the swap. With a 2.8 installed you can go to a 3.4 later with not too many problems, if you need more hp in the future.

Specifically what all would I need? If I found one at a wrecker.
