Thanks, I should have my radiator in a few days, just bought one from CA and it has to get to KY. I'll be tuning this one tomorrow then will start putting body panels back on. Hopefully I will be able to take it for a spin soon.

The cam is definitely lopey... It's a Lunati Cam.
I don't recall the specs since it was bought several years
ago but I'll try and track down the spec sheet. I do remember
it is considered a tow cam.

Yep I'm with you on the excitment when those rebuild engines fire off! Always amazed at how mechanical pieces come to life with a little fuel, air and compression. When my engine started for the first time, it's like having a whole new wack of energy to continue the project.
Keep us posted on your progress!
