It didn't go down without a hitch....We ran out of gas at the end of my driveway. We ended up dragging it back to the shop, putting 5 gallons in and tinkering with it till we felt she was road worthy enough to take another stab at it.
We drove her exactly 1 mile and 3 tenths
throttle response is good and tranny shifted out good. Found some issues that I have to deal with asap. but overall it was great after almost 5 years to have it on the road even for a small spin.
