Yup it does, i got it started at about 2:30 this afternoon, i think i got the neighbors mad, did you know that its loud open manifold?? it runs really good, well i need to get all the belts on it, and time it, i just have it in the hole at about 10 btd, but it runs, and sounds like on all 8. so im making progress, ill hopefully have it back togather tomorrow, i need to go get a couple more brass nuts for the manifold to y pipe studs, and i can do the rest and have it on the road for monday night hopefully, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME!

Awesome...your neighbors must stink if they are mad about that....
i've run my truck w/ nothing but manifolds and a few feet of downpipe and it wasn't as loud as I thought it would be at idle but when you got the RPMs up it was pretty loud. I drove as quietly as possible to a rural area about a mile away without houses nearby and opened it up a few times....man that was great. Too bad my motor wasn't running that well (i was checking to see if my cat was clogged causing my engine to run bad). I welded my exhaust back on after that, and it started to knock so I had to tear the motor down and found the #1 cylinder was bad. In goes the 393
