Thanks for the replies. I have made sure the motor is free. It cranks over good, have oil pressure, have spark, have fuel pressure. It's up on stands and not going to be driven, I just keep hear how " special " these motors are and I don't want to miss something basic and wreck anything. The motor may already need a rebuild, but a least I have got everything fab up and I know it fits and would run if I do. The oil cooler spacer and lines have been removed, is it ok to run without them? I have oil pressure at my gauge, just want to make sure it's getting everywhere with them removed. Also I need to put on a new alternator. I have a one wire one, would that work with this motor? Anything special I would have to do with the 3 prong triangle plug on my harness, or just forget it like a normal one wire alt. install? Thanks again for your replies, this site has been a great help for me with this project!!
