Im satisfied with how the engine is running. Ive started it about a dozen times since I last posted and have yet to see a problem with it. Everytime I start it, it starts at the first turn of the key. Runs strong, no stumble and sounds really good.

Got to drive it as well. Good throttle response under load. Can't wait until I can actually drive it on a paved road legally.

For the intake manifold Im using a clifford 2/4bbl aluminum intake. I designed my own plate to mount the GM 2bbl TBI directly to the clifford manifold. I had it laser cut out of 3/8" steel. If you go this route let me know as I had a spare plate cut out that you can have.

Yup switching to a GM HEI distributor from a 250 inline 6 is a easy way to go.

Thanks for the comment on the brackets, Im starting to have some extras made, for all 3 engine sizes 216, 235 and 261.
