Yesss It actually runs
Fired up the new engine yesterday. No major probs., but the water pump does have a small leak (probably not tight enough). There's nothing like the sound of a healthy small block with open exhaust.

Cool, but be carefull running it too long with open exaust enless its jetted properly for that. The open exaust can sometimes cause a lean condition which could lead to overheated and burned exaust valves. :cheers: :chevy

Pipes are on order. They will be on by the end of next week, then it's off to the Dyno to make sure it's not lean. I also put in some racing fuel for the start-up.
