Taking a 2.8L out of an '87 Jimmy - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I read the book and I don't want to do it that way. Mine is a 5 speed manual 4x4. Can't I just undo the four bolts from the trans to the bellhousing, undo the motor mounts and pull the thing out?
Why do auto wreckers and parts guys actually laugh when I tell them I have a 2.8L? Why are they telling me to search the bottom of lakes for replacement engines? Why did I buy a 2.8 instead of a 4.3 in the first place? Was God mad at me?
