Thanks here is the actual first video of it starting up where it is idled up a bit after James got through scanning it to make sure all the sensors were reading right. He is the one stepping out of the passenger side of the truck, big thanks to him for hauling his welder over to my place to hack up my pacesetter ypipe to clear the 80e pan

 

You're welcome sirrrr!!!!! Back from steakhouse already????

James

 

Hey can I get an autograph, I had no idea your dad was Paul Teutul from OCC!

JK, truck sounds good, did you use the 4bbl tb and the carb hat?

 

No James Im waiting on my dad and Laurie to get ready then we are heading to texas roadhouse.

No Rihino its running the stock intake right now. Whenever you get a chance would please get those measurements I asked about no big hurry right now.

I hope it sounds better once I get the idle dropped down.

 

I thought the same thing when I took the pic but was in too much of a hurry this afternoon.

James

 

Whoo hoo!!!!

Great job guys.

Donno why that plug wasn't in the block. Sorry for the mess. Happened to me many years ago, but it was on an engine stand in the shop. Soaked my pant legs with 40wt.

Congrats on getting the engine up and running.
