There are all different types of swaps out there. What would you like to do? There is alittle bit of everything in this forum, carbed, efi, 727, and just about everything else.:toothy10:

IMO the XV stuff is expensive, and to toss the fuel injection and coil packs, for a carb and dizzy makes absolutly no sense! Your paying more money to make it run worse and get less mileage, where's the logic in that? If you haven't already, you can check out my buld in member restorations.
 
I guess i am looking for a more simple build than the EFI job, I can never make up my mind ask my wife

So what are you looking to do? Low buck stock 5.7L (5.7L swaps arn't low buck but as low as possible) install with a carb and MSD ignition? 727 or 904 trans? It's going to be hard to do in a first gen A body but can be done.

Piece of cake on a first gen A. Motor fits like a glove ( an OJ glove!) but it fits. Just check my build. Any questions I would be happy to help.

so is the Gen 3 hemi wider than a Small block ?? or will it just be bigblock tight either way
 
Tincup it would be easier if you were just in NC i could just look over your shoulder and steal your info i am too slow to read the whole thread
 
Don't read, just look at the pics----then have someone else read it to you, ha! Tin is doing a great job, so is 67limecrazy. If you decide to go with the 3g hemi's, don't be afraid to ask for help, we will all do the best we can for ya.
