It was a great feeling alright, cant wait till its all tuned up right and good exhaust on her tommorrow, then itll really sound good. Started getting dark, I have good neighbors and wanna keep it that way, so we had to shut her down, but tommorrow we should be in business for good.

Also wanted to add that it feels extra good, because it was my first time doing it, I put everything together from the crank up, so I was a little worried, but no chatters and no clatters it ran great.

Running true duals , coming out the back corner at an angle behind the bumper. Wanted to do dumps, but I drive it everyday and would like to not hear as much of the rumble in the cab and also keep some smell out. Its a 92 roller motor, bored .30 over. Got a typhoon intake manifold and Holley 600. Its at the exhaust shop right now and I get it back this afternoon to do a little timing work. Mated up to a 3 speed. Have the floor shifter but sticking with the column for now. Just a street driver, not much muddin in this girl. Let me get her back and I will post a couple pics. Thanks everyone again for the help.
