There are minor body reinforcements added on 3.0's (probably to handle the extra power). I believer 2800's were only available with manual sunroofs (possible to retrofit to electric, but no mounting plate for switch). Front bumpers wrapped further around sides on 2800 (end further to rear).


• 2800 = 2788 cc; 3.0 = 2985 cc (86 mm bore vs. 89 mm bore)

• 2800 = frt solid dsc, rear drum; 3.0 = 4-whl ventilated discs

• 2800 = ZF 4-spd; 3.0 = getrag (with diff ratios)

• a few little things like switches, knobs, etc.

anyone else want to chime in?
