Well guys... IT RUNS!!!!!! It fired up amazing except the first time I turned it over my hand slipped of the key and shut it off.... But it fired up right away, timing was perfect BUT this fu***ng camera didnt get the audio at all worth a crap... but I will have the video in just a hour or so here. Boys it sounds great!! I'm going to borrow my boss camera and get another video of the sounds and stuff an about an hour. WOW it sounds good guys i am thrilled... That 510 cam is amazing...

Ha the pink engine stand lol very funny! I got 50 miles on it and every mile it seems to do better. Runs really good, I think from the acceleration (not going past 3000 rpm) it may have 260 horsepower.. HOPE that is.. I was told roller rockers, my gt40 tube intake, and the colad air kit and free flow exhaust should benefit me a lot... plus the fresh rebuild, and 8.7:1 pistons may give a little bit too. The video is STILL uploading... for some reson my internet is really slow today, but its got a couple hours left before it uploads. I'll tell you what lholguin, you wont be disappointed if you completely rebuild the motor and do some bolt ons... I am very happy with mine.
outstanding job man! glad you finally got it together
