redwolf624 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 alright guys, i had to do this last year but can't remember to save my life how to find the engine id code, turns out my buddy had an old rust 89 firebird (with a 2.8) layin around his yard and let me wank the engine that way i could get my MJ running again...or atleast untill i can do the 2.5 swap like eagle keeps telling me to do :rotfl2: I already know i need to reuse my old oil pan, valve covers, timing chain cover, water pump.....everything but the heads. but i can't remember, (when i installed the 93 sonoma 2.8) weather or not i used a gasket kit for the 93 2.8 or my MJ's 86 2.8 nor can i remember (like stated above) how to find the engine id code. Can anyone help me out with this, what gasket set do i use, how do i find an engine id code...what else will i need to know parts and code wise before i drop the 2.8 out of the firebird in?

Jeep Driver Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 The expense in the head gaskets, I would not order the 'set'. Get a pan and timing set gasket along with VCs and intake.........cost you $30 instead of $90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwolf Do you remember when and where you bought the gaskets from .If so Have the parts store check the sales history of each part number and see which one you bought . Is the firebird 2.8 the cross fire injection 2.8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see this thread going to at least 8 pages.............Yep, it's that simple. Since the only difference between old and new motor is going to be age, all the gaskets for the original motor amc put in it will work for the swap. And no, I wasn't explaining that for your benefit cruiser. Just tossing it out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask for a gasket kit for an 86 2.8 Comanche not that simple, auto part store wants to know the engine id code weather it's a T or a U The expense in the head gaskets, I would not order the 'set'. Get a pan and timing set gasket along with VCs and intake.........cost you $30 instead of $90. that was the plan, i had too many left over gaskets last time alright guys, i had to do this last year but can't remember to save my life how to find the engine id code, turns out my buddy had an old rust 89 firebird (with a 2.8) layin around his yard and let me wank the engine that way i could get my MJ running again...or atleast untill i can do the 2.5 swap like eagle keeps telling me to do :rotfl2: I already know i need to reuse my old oil pan, valve covers, timing chain cover, water pump.....everything but the heads. but i can't remember, (when i installed the 93 sonoma 2.8 weather or not i used a gasket kit for the 93 2.8 or my MJ's 86 2.8 nor can i remember (like stated above) how to find the engine id code.

Redwolf Do you remember when and where you bought the gaskets from .If so Have the parts store check the sales history of each part number and see which one you bought . Is the firebird 2.8 the cross fire injection 2.8? yes i do remember, i just don't think autozone kept records more than a year, and i don't know what kinda fuel injection, i just know i got the motor and he scrapped the car the day later, rust eats a lot over 3 years of saving to restore a car, Redwolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell them you need gaskets for an 86 2.8 Comanche. Most people do not know what their engine code is. That's why they have computers behind the counter.
