She runs!!!!!

Merry Christmas all, I finally got my 60 running after transplanting a 5.0 liter & AOD. Brings the spirits back up after the last 2 or 3 years.

Let me be the first to congradulate you. I don't think there is any feeling in the world like hearing the engine run in a truck that you have worked countless hours on.

Congrats!!! That is awesome to finally hear it roar to life after you've been struggling on it for awhile!
Sure make the adrenaline pump doesn't it? I was able to fire my truck up and make several passes around the block a couple of weeks ago....the grin is still on my face.
