Aaron, the 61 has been on the back burner for years now. About the torture testing, your very right. In the back of my mind I think a rebuild would be a good thing but its not something I want to do now because of the trans, etc.

That's a good idea Mike about the blower. I didn't think it would hurt anything to start it with everything off but doesn't hurt to ask the experts here. Oh, I'll pull the rags out of the intakes first, LOL

Ya Nate, sorta kicking myself for turning it over yesterday. I think I will first off drain the hpop and crankcase and refill them with some cheap oil. I bought Shaeffer's oil yesterday, I'm going downtown and buy some cheap oil for the test run.

When I did my injectors I ran it with the vc's off and expected oil flying all over the place but that didn't happen it was not messy at all.

Glenn,

Sure hope everything works out - I'll cross my fingers for you too! Sounds like you've got a lot of pros to help though!

I'm sure it will be fine.
