Thumbs up Vortec install complete...sorta

Other than a wicked oil leak at the timing cover ( i hope) and the headers I've finally taken the truck for a ride. It pulls hard at about 2800 rpm's and will shred 275 /60's half way through first. Not bad for 307's. In the words of my lovely wife after her ride... " Holy Sh*t !!!!

I smell my first speeding ticket in 30 years
