Post After 5 days of thrashing...

...Its "RUNNING"
Low battery voltage caused some wierd start up crap but once we got some volts up, she fired right up.
Got to go thru the valves again and also fix a small trans line leak.
Me thinks the power brakes aren't gonna like this new cam...
...old 230/240@50 made 12inches of vaccume at idle.
...new cam, ouch 8" at idle and I'm running a lot of idle timing.
Have to see what I can coon tune this sucka up to

Without the Help of my "Crew Chief/ Master Mechanic...Pam, I would not have been done in time!
Guys nothing like a Gal who "LOVE'S" Building Horsepower
And I aint talk'n srap'n off old gaskets!.

She's done blueprint Layout work on Proto type automotive programes for 15+ years and that for sure makes one very well qualified to Build a engine.
She's awesome!

Congrats on getting the car up and running in time for the weekend. Sounds like one heck of crew chief you got there. Make sure you keep her contract renewed.
