It's Alive!!!

[Econoline]

Figured you guy's would like this. Here's a video of it firing off after the break in, got the base timing close enough to start adjusting the carb for idle just before this and as you'll hear I fired it up one more time for shit's and giggles I've got the initial fire up/break in video but it's like 30 min long so I'll need to edit off the last 25 minutes or so. Everything went well. And she sounds great

Glad those pistons worked out as I remember the threads about having those custom machined for the dish

Sounds good and that is a nice build. Probably should go pretty well on the road with all that good stuff in there.
