I believe the engine is a 229CI (3.8L) from a Chevy used mainly in the Malibus from78 thru the 80's,--- basically a Chevy V8 minus 2 cylinders.
The 2.8 motor was used in front wheel drive cars and also used a couple of years in the S10 Blazers It was a much narrower engine and used a different distributor. Not a bad looking instalation though.
