When I get the timing fixed and a 4-barrel carb put in, it's gonna be bitchin. The 2.8L only has a 2barrel carb. The 4.3L is the 2.8L engine block with a 4-barrel carb.

I need the timing fixed, a new carb/intake, and a new master cylinder.

Den we's in biznis!!!

I just took my Honda in at 57,000 asking if the timing belt needed changing soon. They said come back at 110,000.

This is not true, the 2.8L V6 is a 60 degree engine, where the 4.3L V6 is 90 degree engine. The intake manifold will not interchange. But I think Eldelbrock makes a 4bbl intake for the 2.8L, which would be the better choice.

Wow!

You can turn a 2.8L into a 4.3L just by changing the carb?

I haven't been recommending water pumps on vehicles unless they look or feel bad, most of today?s cars water pump will last beyond 150K miles without trouble. I just did a timing belt on an Escort GT that had 180K on the pump with no signs of wear or leakage. But I if you are concerned about failure, then replace the pump for your own piece of mind.

As for the Timing chain issue, what Roger said is correct. But most vehicles with timing chains have accessible water pumps which don't need to be replaced with a chain.

I replaced all my belts at once so it cost about $53.
