New Motor

Well
got the motor fired up last night for a quick few seconds. Will continue to tweek and tune today, just wanted to fire it up and get a quick read on the oil pressure guage. Here are a few pics..

I will put the new classic inline headers on after I get the Motor running for a while.

Looks nice! Except for that Fram filter, I'd change that first oil change.

Well you might like running without a filter but I do.. Looking into getting a chrome cover..

The point is the Fram is ok since you will be changing the oil soon. There are much better filters, Puralator, Motorcraft, K&N, Hastings to name a few. I have had one burst and know of others. Why take a chance with a cheap filter after the money you have spent on the engine.

Looks really nice, 3X1 setup is great, those are Webers?.

Yes 34 ICH/ICT's I got the motor runnig but I may have flooded it out tonight on a second start up. The fun of multiple carbs.. at least I got it running once..

Well,
All went good til some problems popped up, both mechanical and Human.. Mechanical parts were the coil wire fromthe cap to the coil burned up which killed all my spark. Fixed then still no start. checked plugs spark, checked carbs no fuel in the bowls? Human error put the fuel pressure regulator on backwarks... Fixed. Few quick cranks to get fuel and success she'sback. Even with the single out 2" exhaust through the flowmaster 40 the motor sounds very aggressive. eager to put the headers on after a few break in runs.. I only ran the motor this time for about 2 minutes. Will add coolant and slap on the uni-syn to get the carbs dialed in..
