And She Lives, Again

The last post was really long, but had a lot to catch up on.  Still not in real time as the following happened in September '14.

Got the engine back in and everything hooked up.  Time to fire the engine and break the cam in, which means starting the engine for the first time and immediately running it up to 2000 RPM for 20-30 minutes.  I think I have all the air out of the cooling system. . . Let's just say it was a very tense half hour.

But as the the video shows below, I made it through it, and more importantly, so did the car.

Engine shortly after cam shaft break in.

Thanks to Randal, my friend and 351 Cleveland guru.  And also thanks to Chuck, who is always there to lend a hand when needed.  He shot this next video.

Nice shot panning from the engine to the car and back.

More to come, including the first drive.
