If it's an automatic, I believe it would be a 700R4.

You can do a cold air, headers, underdrive pullies, Chips don't do crap for our motors.

Best bet is the 3.4 swap.

The 2.8L is a 60* V engine while the 4.3L and the V8s are 90* V engines. The bell housing bolt pattern is different due to the narrower engine requiring the transmission to be changed if you are going to a 90* V engine.
