A rebuilt long block will probably run you approx. $1000 - $1500 by the time your finsihed, if you do the R&R yourself. In the end, the 2.8 engine is too small for the truck. Don't waste your money.

Waste of money, walk away.

2.8L is gutless anyways and is really hard on gas seeing it works so hard.
