After 17 months, I finally got to hear this thing come alive! The 440 engine was built by somebody else over 4 years ago, so I had no idea how or if it would run. Luckily she fired right up (after a couple of sputters) We had a tiny bit of smoke for just a few seconds. After a couple minutes she smoothed out and ran fine! I was using stock manifolds and straight pipe with no mufflers. (I had to do that because I couldn't break the engine in with my ceramic headers) Today I will drive her over to the muffler shop to complete the exhaust then its back to my place to complete the interior which should take just a couple days. I already had the seats redone, headliner and have new carpet to put in. I can't wait to drive her later today!
