Started my project, 2.8L to 5.7L

Hey well I'm just posting to say I've started my swap project already and thought I'd share. Here are some pics

Now, I realize I'm doing this the hard way. I was given advice before to get an already V8 thirdgen. But it just wasn't happening. THey were either 305s or overpriced. A decent Third Gen bird here went for 2600 dollars and it was a 305. No real things against 305s but I have plans for more power in the future.

So far I've got most things down just from reading. I swear I've used the search button so many times you can see the text wearing off on the screen
