I added another part to the list...just picked up some eddelbrock 4495's for extra rocker clearance, not to mention, people crap their pants when they see chrome at a car show.

YESSSSSS!!!!! Who is ready to be jealous! I got it runnin. It was 180* out, so I just picked up the dist and fliped it. Now it runs! I only ran it for about 3 seconds because its 2 am and doing a cam brake in at 2 am is kinda rude, and I had the idle screw set at @1500 rpm so I couldnt get a good feel for the sound. I do have a video of its first (kinda) breaths, but moreso **** it felt strong.

Alrightey. You want a videos yes? I got a couple. Final update though. Truck is all set, the only thing left to do is secondary valve adjustment. Drove about 40 miles last night, Only ran over 3k once. What a freeking diffrence. Firstly I really had no need to get over 3k because at 3k it pulled like it used to at 5, I ran it to 4500 but the valve tap was too much for me to feel safe soI backed out. I still have 1200 rpm to go once I adjust the valves again. On that 4500 run the truck moved like a scalded dog! Other than that the only problem I have is that this pulls just a little toolittle vaccume at idle so when I come to a light It really really wants to die when im using the brakes, so either I put it in neutral and stop, or come to a stop while blipping the throttle. Im going to get a vaccume canister to help out. Other than that its a real freekin champ. I definately like it better than the lightnings that Iv driven, which was the point of the whole project secretly so thats cool.
