Congrats! Your project is going considerably better than my '67 GTO rejuvenation. I got mine running last weekend and it overheated after a 5 minute drive around the neighborhood (I think the water pump impeller is cooked - no apparent coolant flow across the radiator when the T-stat opens).

Anyway, looks great. I'm sure it has a 'little' more power than the stock motor.

Did you replace the two rubber o-rings that go inside the timing cover on the transfer tubes? If you leave those out you get zero water flow.
