took the beast for first test drive today
Today was the first time I actually drove the '82 since I rebuilt the 351 for it.
I only drove it 2 blocks or so because it's not inspected or has tags. Starting out is almost like your're on ice....no ****. I eased on the throttle up until about 25mph or so and mashed the throttle to feel how hard it pulled and the rear tires went up in a cloud of smoke!! I about crapped my pants!! I got paranoid about the cops so I turned around and went back home and never got a chance to hit 2nd or 3rd gear. This is going to one wicked car!! Traction is going to be a big problem I see already. I think this can be an easy 12 second car once I get the traction problem solved. I must admit, this engine turned out to be much more powerful than I expected. I'm happy though and plus it my first engine I ever built.
