very mild 360 build.

Perfect... You want everything together and running for a bit so that you can chase any "gremlins" before the trip

yea i do. when i put the motor in that is in it now i drove it around for a couole of weeks, then took it on a 3 hour trip.. this trip is a bit further so i'd like a good amount of miles on it before the trip..lol

worst case i have to take the mustang. rather not but it is an option.
