It's ALIVE.......

It\'s ALIVE.......

Finally lit the new motor

in the 75, after several weeks of engine work

. Nothing like the smell of burn in at 2000 RPM...I'm just excited I guess. I suppose it doesn't mean much, but finally all the hard work of scraping off 'JB-Crud', painting, cam degreeing, torqueing every bolt, etc etc, it fired within 3 cranks and ran sweet for 20 minutes

....Now she's in the garage cooling off for the night, hardening up the cam. Maybe tomorrow I'll drive around a little bit, in 30 degree weather, with the top down

ALRIGHT! Now, when I send you my 400, I want the 5.7 rods, not the 5.56 rods, OK?! Haha, j/k.

Re: It\'s ALIVE.......

Go ahead, send me your 400, I'll fix it it right up for you, and send it back to you in about 15 years, after I test it...

Re: It\'s ALIVE.......

Sure, Marv, a doubler would be nice- Try finding a 205 originally mated to a 400

. Everybody is asking WAY too much for a hunk of iron with gears in it
