Thumbs up Another one running!

Well guys, I fired up my 428 today and all went well. Also drove it around a little too and the sound of it is amazing! Here is a partial of the build:
428 block 30 over
428 crank internally balanced
Eagle H-Beams
TRW (speed-pro) forged pistons
performer rpm C4 heads ported, polished, polished chambers, cj valves
crane 801
holley 750 cfm
Ask if you want to know more about the build!
Thank you all for all the help!


Brandon

Hey thanks for the replies! It now has about 200 miles on it. Right now I am putting the inner valve springs back in it, since I took them out for initial startup and cam break-in.

I can't wait untill I can romp on this thing and see what it can do! How many more miles should I put on it before I can start to rod it around? The instructions for the new clutch recomends 700 easy miles to break it in.
thanks
Brandon
