Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

welp its alive!!!!! actually started up really easy and is way quieter than i thought it would be....I had a coolant leak problem where my water neck bolts on. so im waiting on some silicone to dry before i can take it for a real test drive. still gotta set my timing and make sure i got plenty of fluid in the trans after i run it for a while. im waiting on my brother to email me the video of it running so stay tuned :metal::metal::metal::metal::metal::metal:
