2.8L Intake exhaust and headers
 

Hey I'm totally new to this forum and I tried to do a search but didnt come up with what I was looking for :(
Anyways does anyone know a good place to find performance parts for a Gen 1 2.8L? Intake Heads Ect...
Thanks for any Info!:D

I really don't think that there is much of anything in the realm of performance parts for the 2.8L. It really is a dog of an engine. Most 2.8L equiped S-series trucks have a quick swap over to the 3.4L engine which will drop right in...

Well its not too much of a dog... They are putting it into the Caddy CTS.

They're great engines that have been around for many many years, but they are slow. Edelbrock, Comp Cams, FlowMaster, most companies make SOMETHING for the 2.8. A 3.4L swap would be sweet IMO ;)

The 2.8L in the CTS is lightyears ahead of the 2.8L in the s-series vehicles. Hardly a comparison at all. The only commonality is the fact that they are both 2.8L... I mean... It's a 24valve engine with variable valve timing and an aluminum block. I am also sure that the bore/stroke isn't even the same as the old 2.8L.

wow, what happened to cadillac using the northstar??? is that just a cheaper cadillac that has the 2.8 and the higher ends still have the northstar???

RE: 2.8L Intake exhaust and headers
 

Only the fullsize caddy's get the Northstar. The v6 models are considered the shortstar. Very capable little engines for a small car. The CTS is available with a 2.8L 24valve VVT with 210hp/194ftlb of torque for under $30k. The higher end CTS is available with a 3.6L 24valve VVT with 255hp/252ftlb.
