She fired right up!!! Yahooooo!
Hey guys,
After working on putting a new crate motor and Pete Kane tranny in the car, she fired on about 2 revolutions.
That was the most stressful morning I've had in a long time! Ran it for 20 minutes between 2000 and 2500 rpms, and most everything seems good. After we eat lunch we will set the timing and take her for a ride.
Thanks to all for their help. Thanks Pete for the emails and phone calls. You're the best!
Hosed the dust off and took her to town. Shifts great Pete, thank you!

I kinda like firing a new engine. I always think to myself "It's alive...It's alive!" like from the old Frankenstein movie. Is a little stressfull hoping all is well though but I just love bringing them to life.

Took her to town and bought a case of oil and filter....about 15 miles total, and damn she ran great!
Can you feel the vibration? With the new motor and tranny I felt like I was one with her! WHAT A FEELING!!!!!!!
