Stared the engine today and all is well 
I never thought I'd get it done. I just have to set the timimg and road test it to see if the trans is OK. Then I need to fit the hood on and do any mods to the air passage in the hood that are needed. She sounds like a monster with the side pipes, I love it. So next week will be the final taest.
I added a few more photos check them out here: http://s173.photobucket.com/albums/w72/Dave82Vette/NEW%20ENGINE/
Thanks to all you guys for the technical & moral support, now I really can't wait for HS

Thats great news Dave, Ive been wondering how that project was going. I will be picking your brain when its time to do the same to mine. Please post what you have to do to the hood to get the air cleaner to clear.

COOL looks nice. I haven't had time to work on mine lately, so it's nice to see someone else making progress.
