2.7 vs. 2.8 engine differences.

I'm trying to find out who actually knows the actual differences between the 2.7 and 2.8, all I can seem to track down is speculation.

I've heard variances in exhaust valves, 4bolt vs 2bolt mains, and the 2.7 having more forged bottom end goodies, but I don't know to what extent.

Any info would be appreciated, just trying to figure out what's most likely to break first =)

exhaust valves are different

2.7t has sodium filled and 2.8 doesn't...heads are different too.

Re:The 2.7 block is very similar to the 1.8T block.
