Default any 2.8 horsepower upgrades?

i have an 89 s10 with a 2.8 and i was wondering if there are any available parts to get performance out of these engines? i know i would be better off with a 4.3 or a v8 but this blazer has some sentimental value and it is a rebuilt engine with only like 10 thousand miles on itsoi don't really want to swap motors.

I would do an exhaust and intake for staters, and because of the age of the motor there isn't a programmer for it so that is outta the question, but an intake and exhaust will wake it up a lil bit!!!

A 3.4L swap.
What would it take for someone to do this swap?? I have a buddy who just got a blazer with a 2.8 and wanted to swap the motor but not to a v8, would you know what all is required for this type of swap???

A motor... LOL

This should help althought it is limited on its 4wd information: Swapping Your Chevrolet 2.8L To A 3.4L

Just so everyone else is clear, to go from a 2.8L to a 350, the transmission has to be changed as well.
