Re: Greg's 50 Build

Thanks guys. You confirmed my suspicion that the gasket surfaces need stripped. That should be easy. I did tape up those exhaust ports after it was painted so nothing has gotten in there. I am starting to narrow the checklist down before I can have the first fire up. I ordered all of my fuel system and that should be here within a week. I opted for Russell fittings and their ProClassic braided line to connect my Aeromotive fuel pump to the stock fuel rail. Hopefully I can get that all in and have some pictures soon.

After that, to get to first fire I still need to:
-Finish engine harness
-Fbody oilpan
-Exhaust header and head pipe
-Put harness, coils, and sensors on the motor
-Put in oil and trans fluid

To just run it for 20-30 seconds, just to hear it run after all this time, I will not have a radiator but do you guys think I need the accessory drive on it?
