Rebuilt motor just started and over heats

I'm sure glad my little 340 came out ok. I've been in a fowl mood the last few weeks thinking how for $2,500 I could had gotten a "worn out" used car, which still runs alright. Heck my 18 year old rusted out car that I been running around town on, renting engine hoists, etc isn't worth $1,000 yet it takes me where I want to go and gets 20+ mpg.

I've been like why-why-why did I start this project in the first place? How stupid it is to be able to burn up the most fuel in the quickest amount of time.

But this last week I am driving around now with the 340, passing traffic with ease.

Sure once I decide the motor is broken in enough to open up the front 4bbl carb, I be hook on speed once again, lol
