Build Resto-mod on my 55 has begun

Had the engine been run previously?

Had the engine been run previously?

Yes. Ran on dyno. It’s a setting somewhere. I’m sure he’ll just click something on his laptop and off we go.

Okay, good. I get concerned about break-in if an engine hasn’t been started until it’s sitting in an engine bay after a rebuild, and then no-fire issues commence. I think I do recall you posted some dyno readouts earlier in the thread.

ECU out getting tested. Might be faulty. In the meantime all AC plumbing being ran.

Tomorrow it’ll start. Proper video to follow. It’ll be loud since exhaust off. Straight headers.

It’s getting the rest of exhaust put back on tomorrow and O2 sensors put back on. Should run smoother.
