There was/is a fellow from Georgia, Norm Griffiths?, that ran one. It was a carbureted 82-3-4 and it was an absolute killer in V with an automatic. I can only imagine that it would be better with a stick.
The early injected 2.8s in RWD were not all that good. They didn't have the high port heads that the FWD cars had.
While we're on the RWD, V6 cars, I always thought that the 91 Firebird with the 3.1 would be a good combo. It has all of the better FWD stuff on it and is rated 5 HP less than the 2.8 and they're all T-U-V cars.
