I'm not sure the 3.4 was available when the 2.8 was
selected for the Jeep.  Anybody know for sure? 
Anyway, I put 150,000 miles on a 2.8L S-10 Blazer in
the late 80s.  It was not a bad motor.  The darn
Varijet carb had to be rebuilt (I did it though.) and
it blew one head gasket while I had it.  No bottom end
problems though and it had sufficient, if not excess,
power for the Blazer.
