i insisted we push it out of the garage to start it.....still was real nervous



almost forgot.....auxiliary YOTATECH surfing spot



was running good and strong....and after the timing was set by bra--..... er, i mean, XXXTREME22R....she ran like a top....even ran good right off the 1st turn of the key.....a few hard swallows when some of the air purged through the cooling system making the idle lope a little, but other than that, real good.

with that, i said it was time to finish off the engine......the 22re sticker

 

in all these months of messing with this, not ONCE has the hood been closed. I'm kinda symbolic like that....

well....here ya go.

 

now go get drunk in celebration!!!

 

i wish.

i'm starving, ate 2 mini bagels about 11am my time (it's 825pm here)

 

nooooo, food just makes getting drunk take longer! but it is important.

 

WOW man, fantastic job!

That engine is purdy!


Great job on the entire thing. I know how you must be feeling right now

Enjoy it man; break that motor in right, then go terrorise with it!


I tip my hat to you sir

 

thanks man...i have to say early on your build and OLHARLEYMAN's builds inspired me.

but as a noob......well that's a different story.

but now that it's done......WOW!

 

that is why I documented the entire process with pics and posted them; in hopes that someone out there going through the same thing might find it helpful

 

i cruised your thread and his alot and used alot of your pics (in my head) to figure stuff out.

 

well I'm glad it helped

btw, time to change the sig

 

Congrats man! And i have to say. DAMN THAT LOOKS SWEET

 

I'm quite fond of the yeller fan myself

 

thanks jack

was a little something special i did

 

Congratulations Jerry. Really happy to hear that it runs well. Yotatech is a valuable tool in such a rebuild & It great to see you pull thru this with a little help. You sir, are also due many thanks for helping others along your way, I know I jacked your thread a few times & so have several others. We are not all experts but funny how when we put our minds together we can get things done. Good job & thanks for sharing.

 

Very, very happy for you!!! I can't imagine how good you feel now. Just think, now you can get rid of the dumb smooth riding caddy...

 

well said....and thank you.



feel real good..


anyone want to buy a 1996 cadillac sedan deville?

 

crappy cellphone pic, but it's weird not having the truck right there tonight.....gonna let it get some fresh air for a while.....maybe a bath tomorrow too as a treat.

 

good night all.

and thanks for watching and thanks for helping.

 

WooHoo! Congrats man, it took a long time, but once it's done it seems like a second eh?

 

I want to put you over the 2800 mark. Congrats, The satisfaction you are feeling is well deserved. I enjoyed following you along on your build. What about 8T8s now?? Just joking. Enjoy
