" A: 700R4 was also used (and it's HIGHLY sought after by rod builders) I was 
" checking out Advancedadapters website and several of their conversions for 
" Ford Rangers are using 700R4 from 2.8L family. As for the other stuff, a 3.1 
" or 3.4L would require a balanced flexplate/flywheel. The 2.8L one is 
" externally balanced till almost the end of the line.

as i hear it all the 60-deg engines were redesigned to be
neutral-balanced about '87-8, 2.8 included.  it continued on to '93 in
s-10s, and i think this flywheel would be your ticket if you wanted to
replace your manual-trans xj 2.8 with the gm crate 3.4 longblock,
which is only available with a [700r4] flexplate.
