This ain't tech yet...and I hope it doesn't turn in to tech as that would mean an issue and I hope to not have any.
@2mountainfish and a couple local Club members will be helping me with the start up and dialing in the engine. The 2f had 350k on the clock and was tired. I've had it installed for a month but had to be out of town for 3 weeks right after I put it in, so waited until now and also when the other guys were available.
Spent the last several days with hooking all the electricals etc up and now we are ready. All excited so had to tell someone with this post. Will put some tech in here so the mods won't move it; cam break in will be with Delo 400 15w-40 conventional with some Lucas Zinc Plus added. Plan to retorque the head and readjust the valves after 100 miles, change the oil and again after 1k. Then regular oil changes every 3-5k depending on how I've been driving.
I've got till between now and Aug to get it dialed in for the Solid Axle Summit in Ouray, Co. Here's some pics with it all ready to turn the key...wish me luck.
