[Canuck]

It’s home! 😎

[Dtret]

I’d put dancing bananas out there but that’s beneath me so you get this. Welcome home it looks great.

Ahhh come on Dennis you know you love them 

[Grant MacPherson]

Definitely banna worthy 

[Canuck]

Engine and trans are back in. Now reassembly begins.

 

[Marks71]

That is really coming out nice. I like the attention to detail and the “can never have enough protection” mentality. 

[Dtret]

Awesome. Looks great 

[1970mcss]

Looks great, brand new

[Canuck]

It’s all assembled except for the distributor and spark plugs. Just waiting to schedule a time for the engine builder to come by and help with the first startup. The suspense is killing me. Days feel like weeks at this point 🤣.

Looks great Aaron! Fingers crossed for the first start up. 

[cny first gen 71]

That does look great, good luck with start up. Make sure there is a video of it.

[sbarnette]

I second what Steve said. I looks great but looking forward to hearing it!

[DragCat]

Nothing like that first start up 🤘

[Canuck]

She runs!

 

[MC1of80]

Looks and sounds great Aaron!!

[Montemedic]

Nice neat and clean install. Looks like it just came off the assembly line. Good for another 200 thousand miles. Great job Aaron !!!

[Rob Peters]

Looks and sounds like it could make a cross country trip to Carlisle.

You’ve done an amazing job. Very well done and it sounds great. It’s ready for a long long road trip now. But where would you go?  lol. 😆 

[cny first gen 71]

That would certainly break it in for sure!

Well have you taken it out for a ride yet? Enquiring minds want to know!

[jft69z]

Yep, take it out and give it a little load, it'll help seat the piston rings. Not redline, but don't be afraid to put your foot in it a bit. Just running it at idle or on a test run stand isn't enough.

[Canuck]

I need to get some buddies over to put the hood and bumper on before I take it out. Not sure when that will happen yet as I’m into my busy season at work. There’s a couple minor leaks I have figure out and deal with first as well. I’ve been sick this weekend so haven’t been in the garage since Friday.

[Rob Peters]

Hope you're feeling better tomorrow Aaron.

You don't need a hood for a test run , maybe the leaks and a bumper tho 🤣 Feel better soon
