Well, I finished my first 2.8 rebuild. Seems to be a good motor so far. Block is 0.60 over, used Edelbrock headers, Msd Ignition, Holley 350. Heads ported and polished, three angle valve job. Going to use Flowmaster 40 with 2.25 exhaust. With engines I've rebuilt in the past (mostly chevy) they usually take some cranking to get them running but this motor didn't turn over 2 revolutions and it fired. It must have been the Msd ignition!!
