Omg
It runs, it shifts, it made it a few laps around the block!
It has been 5+ years since it moved on its own. It has been up on stands so long, I forgot how low it really sets. Drove it around the neighbor hood and it shifts into all the gears (700R4). Now to find all the parts and get her to be a driver for about a month, then a paint job.

Re: Omg
Well, it was short lived. It never sounded quite right and when we pulled the valve cover only 7 rocker armrs were moving.
So, it is all apart again, front clip off, and will do the engine rebuild in the coming weeks and try again. The engine was rebuilt a few years ago then just sat on the stand or in the truck. Not quite sure why I flattened a lobe on the cam, but sh>>>t happens.
