Didn't change the oil in the fall so I decided to change it today..........after the rain stopped!! Yesterday was a tease...
While messing w/ the controls I discovered my lower shift cable is frozen......another small project. Also ran a couple of gallons of pink AF through the raw water side.......temps are supposed to drop again tomorrow.
Took another video........idle/exhaust seems a little more lopey this year.....maybe because the right springs are on the heads!

Glad to hear it Tony....we certainly all learned a lot, about the SBC from your project, and those who may want to do the same in the future will be able to follow what you did....

Thanks Lou........your interest is appreciated.
WOT didn't really change.......kind of disappointed; but at least I know it's built correctly!
