2.8 has a gear driven cam that spins counter to the crankshaft.

2.9 has a chain driven cam that spins with the crankshaft.

2.8 distributors spin backwards and don't fit right in chain driven engines.

 

[stegomon]

how about changing the gear on the end?

 

[adsm08]

IIRC they don't swap nicely from one to the other. The topic has been brought up extensively in regards to swapping a 2.8 top end onto a 2.9 to convert a 2.9 to carb. I can't recall the specifics of it at this moment, but I think it was determined that you'd have to get a custom drive gear cut.

I messed with carbs for 40 yrs. If I never have to work on a 70s up car with a carb ,it will be too soon. EFI for the win!.
