It's ALIVE, sort of.

I fired up the 340 blower engine for the first time today. I immediately shut it down. Absolutely no oil pressure on the gauge. This was after priming the oil system and getting oil to the right side rockers. I figured I was good to go. But I am not going to run an engine that has a zero reading on the pressure gauge. I had an oiling issue when I first started to prime it. I thought I had resolved it but I guess not. I will be diving into the engine again this week after I cool down a bit. I also have an issue with the exhaust. The new headers are a little higher than the old ones and now my exhaust hits the tranny crossmember. More fabbing. This has really been a test of my patience getting this engine together, it has fought me all the way.
