basically its a reconfigured 2.8 and much more reliable.

No it isn't. The 3.4 is the improved version of the 2.8. They are both 60-degree V6's. The 4.3 is a shortened SBC V8 -- it's a 90-degree block. It can be shoehorned into the XJ engine room, but it's a tight fit and NONE of the XJ accessories will fit, nor will the tranny.red91inWA said:go with a 4.3 GM.
basically its a reconfigured 2.8 and much more reliable. Parts availablility is HIGH.
With all the accessories, and computer, it whould work well for your application.
Very reliable motor.
