Keith, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Oliver confirmed below, what I thought. The motor is an M30(big six). Your car came with an M20(baby six). The 2.8L also used L-Jet, not K-Jet like your car. My advice, cut your losses now, and sell the motor for what you can get for it. You could end up spending WAY to much money trying to sort this out. You would be much better off buying a 2.5 or 2.7 from a 325. Direct swap, and no headaches. Without any of the electronics, you're i nfor HUGE project. I wish I had some better news, but I don't. Al

I believe it was out of an 85' I dont have the electronics, I bought the motor at core price ($50.00) so i didn't lose out but i want it to fit. does anyone out there have any parts to help me. Maybe the two motors could be combined? I dont know help!!!
Thanks
