The wiring on the MSD needed better connections.

Fired up! Wooooo Hoooooo!

Did the 20 minute 4000 rpm breakin. Ran out of time to do a road test. The acellerator linkage needs a little work. It seems that the carbs are lower, or something. And yes, I put the spacers in...

Can't wait to break in the rings.

I had a local engine builder put the engine together. The assembly charge was only $850, so I had them do the engine complete.

If I just had it re-ringed (Along with the head repairs, valve guides, etc), I would have spent about $2500. It was closer to $6000 with the extra work (Porting), new P&Cs, new crank and rods, installation of piston squirters, and the carb parts to properly handle the 2.7.

Hopefully, I can put the sucker on the road next Wednedsay. Going to Houston tonight. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
