1948 s10 swap- fired it up today

[vintage_car]

I had to fire it up today. did some make shift wiring and let it loose! sounded really good, I still have to get it dialed in, but I was happy that it ran. First engine I have rebuilt and no leaks, smoke or issues that I could tell. The trans leaked a bit, but that was due to a couple loose lines that I had forgotten to tighten. Ran what fuel it had in the carb...so it died out on me.
After it I ran it for close to 30 minutes to break in the cam and make sure everything else was leak free. Plenty left to do, but man am I glad to hear that engine.
