Default 1987 s-15 2.8/ v8 swap

looking to pull the old 2.8 and drop in a v8, ether a 305 or 350 with standerd trans.

What motor would be easiest to drop in??

I dont want anything crazzy, just whant a standerd v8/s-15

will all the s10 v8 swap stuff work with the s-15??

Thanks

It's just as hard to swap in a 305 as a 350, so why even consider the smaller one? S-10, S-15 - same procedures.

WOW thanks for the quick reply's!!

I have a 1985 fullsize wrangler with a carbed 350 sitting in my back yard. do you think it is worth it to pull that motor and cleen it up and drop in the s-15?? It ran mint about 6 years ago when we parked it there and tryed to start it about 4 years ago but the fule pump is shot, so it just ran for a cupple seconds on the fuel we poured in the carb.

thanks agen
