She's alive!

We got my newly rebuilt 390 to fire in my '68 F250 Highboy last night. It took us four days to track down all the parts that were missing get it back together. I had no idea getting a 390 with headers back into that giant engine compartment would be such a challenge. But it's all in and it ain't commin' out.

But I can't drive it - waiting for drive shaft and throttle linkage to arrive.

Thanks for all the help from everyone on this board and the 390 board. This has really been a great resource.

Peter
