Started the new engine today!!!!!
My parents and my daughter came over today and wanted to see the car. Soooo I opened up the shop and decided what the hell and fired her up. Man my wife and my mother were covering thier ears yelling turn it off, my daughter looked like this 
, and my dad (84 years old) and I were grinning from ear to ear. It was running open headers as I have no exauxt run from headers to sidepipes. That cam just sounded so cool I could not turn the key the other way for a minute or two

Congrats! Incredible feeling when that baby comes to life. 
Did you run it to break in the cam or is it a roller?

It's a roller and it's a crate motor already run by Engine Factory. I didn't have the patience to do like you Jug and build it myself. My son wants a hot rod now and we'll build that engine together!
