Default Happy days are here again! Engine installed

These pictures tell it all....









We ran the engine and broke in the cam, it sounds really sweet. Tomorrow the engine gets fine tuned, after that everyone needs to stay off of the streets because I am taking the car out for a test drive.

You know it! Tonight I reward myself, a good meal, a couple of drinks, a little R & R, it'll do me good.

Still waiting for the refund check to arrive - legal mumbo jumbo involved.

Brother Dave has been doing a bit of tooling around the country side in his new Porsche, and one of his dogs had puppies about a week ago.

Good to hear that Dave is doing well. Strangely, I met him at 20th St. Auto parts one day when he first picked up his Porshe. It's the local Porche, Audi, Corvette scrap yard in Phoenix. I was chatting with the owner about Vettes and he walked in and joined the conversation. One thing led to another and we ended up realizing we were both forum members and had "spoken" online. I hear his old '71 is back "on the block" at CnV.

Good luck resolving the legal "mumbo jumbo", Your car looks GREAT!!!
