Haha, yeah I'm a bit worried about the noise. At the moment, it's my daily driver till I get another truck. Eventually it will be linked front and rear. Mostly open desert, glamis, pismo.

I think it goes without saying that we will need video of it once it's running.

So I will apologize now cause this is the first video of my truck just sitting at idle but you requested video so here you go Its with my iPhone so not sure about the quality on your end? Maybe when my girlfriend comes home I can fire it up while she shoots me and I can give it some gas?

Enjoy, I know I will!

Crap, How do you upload video?

That just sounds like a bad plan!

On a more serious note, how did you get a dyno chart before the engine was built? Was that a computer simulation or a similar engine?

Sweet big block, it should run awesome.

Haha, good point, should have worded that differently! Yes, it was a computer program we used and that is the printout of what the motor should be capable of. After I save up a bit more, then I will get it dyno tuned.

Sounds good'n nasty. How's it rev? Is it good and responsive?

So one person couldn't hear it and the other could? Interesting. Its stupidly responsive, no hesitation, flat spots or anything like that.

I guess you're having better luck with your demon than I am...

I actually read your thread, but sorry man. I have no advice we just had some problems with the floats (put the springs in wrong when we rebuilt it) but everything else worked ok.
