update-
Well we finally finished checking and measuring every thing and putting all the pieces together and run it yesterday morning for breakin and let it cool down and tighten all loose bolts and retorque the heads and intake and this morning ran it for about 20-25 minutes. Wow what music out of the 4" exhaust pipes on the dyno 12.3 -1 compression with VP race fuel at 36 degrees of timing. No hp numbers as we all agreed not to hang it's tounge out but to perhaps run it on the chassis dyno later on. Took me a while but now we are going to install this motor in my 69 camaro for some test and tune for the month of Sept. Might be a little tricky to keep this car straight as the BFG's will not be up for the job and I tend to be a little lead footed.
