And probably the most positive thing, he and Autumn are doing it as a family!! I, for one, will follow their progress and racing adventures through the year. Best of luck, and keep up the good work!

Curt, I appreciate your take on this. I hope everyone takes something positive from this, learning from my mistakes, the fun of the build, the sport and the people.

Fixed some paint on the motorhome and still plugging away at the small stuff on the car. Belts are re-certed and back in, almost everything else is done, gonna try to button up a couple things in the morning and fire it up.

We got it all wrapped up this morning, fired off on the first click of the starter, ran it for 30 seconds and re-checked the valves and found 1 that needed tightened up. Big difference in this setup and oiling to the top VS the last setup. Ran cam break-in for 30 minutes, tomorrow morning I'll check on the new driveshaft and at some point we'll swap rockers.

What's different about oiling system ? New camshaft ? Ran on dyno with new cam ?

Lifters are different.

Sounds great and the car is magnificent!

This is a first class build ...my only disappointment is that whatever TOOL that was used to cut the rear carpet around the roll bar.....it needs to be retired....or better yet...send it to HP HUNTER ....
