She runs! We broke in the motor last night. We found a couple of minor issues...the new BG fuel pump was weeping...needed to be "snugged up", a little water leak...forgot to tighted the clamps on the lower radiator hose DOH!, etc. Set the timing and broke the engine in. Probably about 30 minutes total run time. With the electric water pump and fan on, it stays at about 195. Sounds great.
