The beast lives !!
Fired up the 427ci small block this evening. Started up right away. It sounds pretty mean. It runs smooth and the idle is lumpy enough to scare off even the seasoned ricer 
Anyway I will post a video but it was too late tonight to start revving it up. Also have to the hydroboost brakes working before I can take it for a spin, I am a happy camper !
