Yeah man! I'm pretty excited. I got a line on a set of heads to match my intake manifold. They are really pretty rare so I'm excited to have all matching speed gear (Edmunds). Hopefully if the motor is in good running order. With the heads, intake and exhaust that I'll have on it, should make about 125hp.... Like you said not bad for stone age technology! Also considering it shouldn't weigh too much more then 2500 lbs with me in it. Should scoot pretty good

Waiting on a fenton fuel block! Once that in... I could pull it out of the garage under its own power!!!! Next project. Brake lines. Then is interior time!

Tons of little things that still need to get done before I can even really take it around the block! Moddify the radiator for fan clearance. Replace water pumps. Weld the motor mounts. Safely secure all the wiring with the proper clams (just ordered this stuff! Should be here this week) Aswell as secure the fuel lines.

Blah and so much more! I have it all written down but it feels so GOOD to know that it runs

I wouldn't use clams to hold the wiring in place. They make better chowder than connectors, just sayin......

Looks like a great time though, please keep posting as you progress.

Alright.... Slightly better vid here. BUT! It's running like shizzz. Won't hold an idle and it's breaking up when you open up the throttle. All that being said. I only have one carb hooked up and I still need to adjust the idle air valves and the plug wires are arching because I have the wrong plug wire ends on.

Anyway! Sounds mean so I'm pumped running brake lines asap! Then she rolls out under her own power!!!! Woooooooo!!!!
