IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, its been alive for a week now, wanted to make sure it was all good and didn't have an o-crap moment.
Had to add 2 inches to the alt arm to clear the valve covers of course.
Almost had it fired up last saturday, but was cleaning schmutz from the plug wires and found one was cut and another had a burn spot. NO ONE had a decent set of wires in stock, AZ and Oreilly's had store brands, but wasnt' gonna waste my money on those and missed Oreilly's warehouse by 1 hour. Bought a set of BWD's and picked them up Sunday morning at the warehouse.
Double, triple and quadruple checked everything and fired it up early Sunday afternoon. Took most of the 20 min. break in to get rid of all the anitfreeze that ran down the exhaust pipes from pulling the heads. Nope, didn't actually drain the block first. I'm sure my neighbors loved me for that one
Runs great, MUCH louder than it was before, especially when you get on it. Took a couple videos with my phone, they are't great, but I'll try to get em uploaded.
Now I HAVE to drive it for another 500 miles to continue the break-in
