 Finished build pic, taken while I was breaking in the cam and lifters. You weren't kidding, that is a nail-biter of a time! While tuning the carbs we decided I need to go to a smaller idle jet, and might need to go to a bigger main jet. Gotta switch plugs first to one hotter before I'll know. It's kind of fun going back to carbs and old-school tuning. Learned a WHOLE LOT about spark plug reading from an expert yesterday. I've got less then 100 miles on the motor, so I've only run it up to 3/4 throttle to set the rings. It was raining on test day number one, and the car gets fully sideways on highway on ramps using 1/2 throttle. Definitely going to be a fun machine! And, because I thought it was funny...I figured the front better match the back.  -Dave
