Does anyone know if I can put a double pumper on a Chevy 2.8L w/ 4 speed tranny?

Question

I have a '83 S10 4X4 and want to tweak it a bit, but I am not sure what I can and cannot do, it's a 2.8L V6.

Answer 1

There is not too much you can do with that engine. It is a small cubic inch motor and has a weak crank. I used to sell these motors like crazy about 10 years ago. BUT They do make cams,intakes,carbs and exhaust kits for this engine. A double pumper is WAY too much fuel. If you were to use a 4bbl it would have to be very small like a 390cfm up to 450cfm and even those are big for that engine. Here are some links from summit racing to shop for some of these items. Hope this helps :)
