Got the car running yesterday. Had to remove the oil pump and fill it with oil, reinstall, and it was enough to build up pressure finally. Luckilly the pump is external on these engines and very easy to get to.

Did the 20 minute break in and the oil and temp were perfect. The top end seems a little noisy...not sure if I'm hearing the forged pistons or if there's a loose lash pad. Will pull the valvecover on monday. Other than that just a few bugs to work out....oh and I need my shifter that's been on back order for 2 months!

Can't wait to take this thing for a ride...it seems extremely rev happy with the flat tops and cam.
