Woo Hoo the 402 is finally running again! Started it up for the first time this evening! Sounds great, now I just have to break in the cam,time it and change the oil and then I can drive it! But first I have to bolt the front clip all back on and get it ready to drive again.

Good news!

71402BB · 06-18-2003, 12:21 AM

Yes it is so nice to see the 71 back up and runing! yes it has been way to long! it's been about 2 years since that truck has seen the road. As soon as I get my engine spec's I'll post them on the board for all to see! Then maybe some one could be as so kind to do a desktop dyno for me?

Not with MY $3500 motor he won't. When I' reembursed, then OK. :p
