thank you

i just wanted to thank all you guys for helping me build my motor. My 390 is nuts. It runs great off of pump gas and takes off like a jet. I put my first hundred miles on it today and did not even hardly lay into it, I don't think I will ever have to unless it is to smoke a chevy. Thanks guys. One question is a little white smoke okay during break in it mostly goes away after warm up.

Give it about 500 miles for break-in and then floor it. You should be amazed.

The white smoke is probably just condensation. Was it cold out when you were running it? Most vehicles will make white smoke out the tailpipe when they and the outside temperature are both cold.

Good to hear another FE is back on the road. I'm sure you'll enjoy taking down a few chevy's with it!
