360 build thread

Got the motor broken in yesterday, had one coolant and one oil leak to fix. Both times happened after 1-2 min of running at around 2300 rpm. Ran it for 25 min after that at around 2500-2800 rpm and then back down to 2000 for the last 5 min. Sounds good, seems real healthy. Drained the oil and cut open a side of the filter. Looked like oil with real small metallic bits just what I expected. Helped having a buddy to mist the radiator, the box fan I had wasn't pushing enough air but it made it through. What a relief! Will post a video of it running soon. Next will be a ratchet shifter install and a balanced driveline and it's on the road. Broke it in with the Holley Sniper setup, they dont recommend it for flat tappets but I can help with initial setup if someone has questions.
