It's Alive!!!

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

To refresh your memories it's a 250 built for a 64 Econoline

Bored 40 over
Crank turned 10 under
2.5 HSC pistons w/ 8cc D dishes milled in them
9.55:1 Static C/R
8.05:1 Dynamic C/R
Schneider 256-2H Cam, 256/262/112 with .042 lift ground 2 degree's advanced
Comp 906-12 springs. I was going to use the 903-12 300 springs but changed my mind, may go with them if/when I put on the a 2v modded head.
Ported C9 log head, gasket matched stock exhaust manifold
1.467" exhaust valves(144 intakes) and 1.75" intake
Single 2.25 exhaust with Dynomax turbo muffler and 12" resonator/glasspack

congrats that 250 sounds excellent,

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

lotta work in those 46 sec!
Gene'd B proud…
On the coast to finish! enjoy dat,

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