Update: The virgin shortblock is together and painted, the heads are fresh with new valves & guides by Mike of TA Performance.
I have installed a line-lock, not because it’s a race car, but because I like smoky burnouts and with a 4-speed it’s a bit easier.
Finally back in Arizona to do the final assembly, plan to have it running on the test stand by Saturday .
Today was a long time coming, break-in of the engine, the carb is a trusted Holley not the correct one going on once in the car, also not the correct points distributor either. Makes 93 psi just priming the pump with a drill. Video to follow.
Congrats I’m glad everything went well. Looking forward to the video. I’m still waiting for an FN Dyno what a joke on my side.
