THANKS GUYS!!!!

Follow up....

I found the extension for the connection on the butterfly linkage, installed it.

Then I shorteded up the drop links by 3/4 inches.

Low and behold IT WORKS!!!

I just finished installing the motor and re-connecting the Mega-squirt....

Of course I just had to fire it up...with no exhaust!

ha ha...everyone in my house was right up above the garage watching TV...then they all had to change their pants!!

I rocked the house!!
I also woke up all the dogs in the neighborhood..

All I have to do is throw the tires back on, drop it down and go for a spin...tomorrow...

So far, no sign of any oil leaks!!! I might be back on the road Monday!!

Oh yea..this is one bad ass motor...I got to be over 150 hp.....when is the next dyno day????

Thanks again for all the support from the board...Thanks Brad for making this happen!
later...

Herb: Check out the linkage on Chris Foley's engine bay on Jakes thread about Chris's new engine.

Yea, I just went around the block a few times...I think I pissed off the neighborhood....at least I waited until noon....

There is something about breaking the tires loose in 2nd gear...I haven't done that before....

before I pulled the engine, I was reading 77HP with my G-tech...got to try it again...

I have some rough spots in acceleration, but I have not tuned the Ms yet...I have got to get some real gas too....a little pinging...8 to 28 deg. of advance...

The idle is good.

got to fix a wire on my Wide band O2 readout...then I can tune...still it was a rush just going around the block. It is supposed to rain tomorrow, so I won't drive to work..that will make sure that I tune it in better before driving...

man this thing is quick...can't wait until Memorial day at the track!!!

I say again!!

I knew that it was comming......now where did I put that camera.....
