Is the 2.8 a pushrod engine?

Yeah...

Thanks for getting back so fast. Got any idea how many valves? 12/24?

Thanks. Anyone know if it possible to swap head and cam to a 24 valve?

no known heads are available...

Thanks. Do you think it is possible to get one custom made then or is it just impossible without modifying the block?

 

[Lariat]

your best bet is to 4.0 swap it...

Or a 5.0

hold on now, that doesn't answer his question...

if you want to get custom ones made, yes, you can absolutely get them custom made. and if it's custom made, you would not need to modify the block, that is what custom means...

who would want to pay the money for custom heads for a 2.8, or who would actually make those heads, i don't know, but yes it can be done!

Yes, you would have to modify the block. There are 12 holes in the block where the lifters go. How are you going to add 12 more lifters without modifying the block?

You wouldn't add 12 more lifters to the block. You would build a custom DOHC heads for the 2.8L. Cosworth actually did it with the 2.9L over in Europe, but the parts won't fit on the 2.8L and good luck finding one of those over here. You'd also need a lot more custom parts than just heads and cams to make it work. Timing cover, water pump, intake, exhaust, and accessory mounts just to name a few.

It would be interesting if you could retain the solid timing gears too.

Thank you for actually answering the question

and no i will not actually get them made, it was just a question that i was wondering

That did not answer my question. Are you saying it can or can not?

I don't understand. Are you saying yes or no it can not?

Yes, you would have to modify the block. There are 12 holes in the block where the lifters go. How are you going to add 12 more lifters without modifying the block?

Rhetorical questions. i could understand with a simple yes or no.

So basically, almost everything custom. interesting. but you do say it is possible.
