It's broken in! Finally after lots of procrastinating and chasing down random parts due to me putting pieces away in places I knew I'd forget about, I finally got it started and broke in now. It runs like an absolute beast too!

CONGRATS! Good to hear that you got it running. Don't forget to change that oil after the break-in period.

Finally got everything installed on the pickup and took for a very close test drive. Pickup runs like an absolute top and even with my gentle driving this thing is scary fast. besides me needing a heavier spring for my throttle cable, my only other issue is my edelbrock 1411 seems a bit rich. After decently heavy acceleration it will pop real loud after releasing throttle and the plugs are definitely starting to foul out. I haven't done any testing out yet. Are there any edelbrock gurus here?
