Crossfire idle
I replaced the engine in my 84. It in now idles at about 1200 rpm. I heard it will do this until I drive for about 5 miles. Is this true? I have not taken it out on the road yet.

First it has to be warmed up, to get off of the cold idle. If you removed the IACs, you will have to drive it at over 35 - 40 MPH once warmed up to acclimate the IACs. And of course there is the infamous vacuum leak. Have you removed the TBs? Is there any reason to suspect that the TBs need to be synchronized?
