She is alive!!!!! It has to be a she for how temperamental she is.
Saturday we installed the engine with no dramas. Sunday we started her up. She fired up on the first crank, following the break in procedure from Hughes to the letter. We shut it down installed the middle springs, Changed the oil adjusted the timing. Then I took her out for a small run.
Niether of my first 2 engine builds had near as much seat of the pants umph this cam set up has!!! My god the idle is retardedly chopy. But once you hit 3K hold on!!! She turned into a freight train!!! Sucking me back into the seat like I have never felt before. When I hit the 6k RPM limiter she was still pulling hard. I would like to get on the chassie dyno to get it tuned in. I think I might have hit gold finally....
