Its off the stands!!!, I can almost hear it running Options

The car is off the stands and I am sure my neighbors will like that. Until I fire it up the first time. I had forgotten what it looked like on 4 wheels. I will try to finish it up tomorrow and get it over to the muffler shop so I can get it running. The hard part is done, thanks for the advice, my idea worked out just fine. Safe too. It looks pretty cool in there, I can hardly wait to hear it run and then the first drive. 2 years ago it was just a dream, now it is only days away. Time sure flys when you are having fun.

Thanks John, I will heed all of your advice. I am running the 9'" or 228 mm kevlar clutch and did not know about the break in. I got this part from Rod Simpson with the radiator to bleed out the system intially. I am running mechanical guages at first but will be going with the electronic ones when I find a set I want. I do have to do an intioal 20 minute at 2k run in as its all new. I followed all the instructions for adjusting the rocker assemblies to the correct pintile setting and adjustment. Hopefully I wont need to readjust them but I am prepared to just in case. I am going to use the little tool on the distributor to run the oil pressure before I fire it up, that is just a good practice on any new engine. I have not cut and modified the shift linkage yet so I will probably wait to do that till afterwards. I want to make sure it runs right. It is getting to the exciting stage where yoiu see something you have worked on for so long finally come together. I have to go to work now till around noon or so and then its back here to work on the car some more. Thanks again for the helpful advice. I will be posting a video of it firing up when I get it running the first time.
