That's really cool Hal. I've got a 348 in the same situation. Seems to run good after sitting since ?
Looks like you need to bolt that thing down though. I think it's ready to take off. Is it going in the 61?

Very Cool Hal! Tell us more.

I was just demonstrating the motor because it was for sale! A guy from Snohomish bought it.... recently! I'm selling all of my 409 stuff so I can save up to buy a Brand New Lamar Walden 540 Cubic Inch Z11!!!!!!!!!! Pretty awesome..

Lamar told me to call him up around September to check on the result, it's all in the air right now just setting goals and working towards them!! I plan on putting the 540 in my '61 Chevy Biscayne.
