Default Got the Big BLock car running tonight Yippee

Still has the open headers so I cant do anything much as far as tuning it. Got the timing close with my cheap azz timing light and its seems like its gonan run and idle good. Needs a stiff return spring so butterflies will close ... Spring on the stock cable isnt much.. Just got a few little things to do, then as soon as the wheels and tires get here I should be on the road.. I cant wait

Sweet!!!..........How hard was it? The only fox body I have seen with a big block was a real hack job (ie. massaged the hell out of the firewall and tranny tunnel with a sledge hammer.)

Oh now dont get me wrong. .THERE WAS SOME MAJOR MASSAGING.. But I was real careful doing it. Sprayed some black on the enitre engine bay before sitting it in. Unless you are a big block guy and knew what to look for you would never know its been touched. Thats how I wanted it. I mean it was some work getting it in.. but when I fired it the other day IT WAS AL LWORTH IT!!!!
