[V8] Engine removal

[Brian P.]

My budget is pretty low right now. I just paid $400 for my brakes and 2 rear 
calipers, but when I was under there the rear shocks look bad and the 
exhaust is almost gone. The car I may get, but am not sure yet is only $500, 
which is about what'd I'd pay alone for an exhuast system, so it sounds like 
a good deal. For now, I could afford to maybe buy the car and about $200 
after that. Then do stuff little by little as time goes by, but the major $ 
repairs that my car (now) needs are body repairs (rear shocks, exhaust, 
leaking rear differential, thrust arm bushing, rust).....but I guess I'll 
just have to see what happens. If I do get the car I'll def. do the swap 
myself as it sounds pretty simple!
