What started as a simple valve spring replacement turned into a rebuild of the entire top end, and then some! It's taken two very long years, but I finally got everything back together and fired it up for the first time yesterday. Everything went beyond smoothly and I'm very pleased with the results. :cheers:
Heres' a short video of the first start up and break in. The last thirty seconds are of the car idling after the break in was complete.

P.S. - Some of you may have seen my build thread (long abandoned) in the Big Block tech section. I'm typically very busy and have trouble finding time for updates, but will make it a priority soon. I took lots of pictures during the build and am looking forward to sharing them with you all.
