Good deal. I know that feeling. I pulled my 79's "smog" motor about 2yrs ago and replaced it with a "custom" 355. Enjoy !

Looks Great!dont want to rain on this thread but is that teflon tape on the threads going into the carbs?the threads on my tri carb feedlines dont seal from the threads,but they tighten the lines down so the line seals,thus not needing the teflon.Are those stock lines?Am I missing somthing here?Anyway got to luv the L71

Actualy, I have been known to use teflon tape on fuel line fitting threads myself. Not for sealing purposes but for assembly/dissasembly purposes later. It helps you get the fittings apart without trashing the nuts/lines. You need to be careful that you do not get any tape fragments into the lines or they may cause the carb needle and seat to hang open and flood the carb. I have tried anti-sieze too but I had problems with that stuff and it is a lot more messy too.
