She fired right up and ran well for 12 minutes when one of the heater hoses to the back of the head blew off (5/8 line on 1/2 nipple didn't hold).
I was surprised on how loud it wasn't. The 406 with the XE274 was louder than the 463 with the XE294. I'll finish the break in tomorrow morning and time it. I have 112 race gas in it, wanted to keep it cool for the run in. She stayed at a constant 190 degrees. Initial oil pressure was 65lbs cold and stayed around 50lbs once warmed up.

I got the cage painted and the pads installed. The harness is in as well. I'll take her out tomorrow for initial shakedown runs. If all goes well, I'll take it to Earl Scheib for a paint job.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
