    Well, the Beast lives again....   :grinyes:  I was able to fire it up. I was not able to get a video of it last evening. The issue was that the headers had oily handprints on them and they were smoking something awful  --  while inside my attached garage. The smoke detector was raising cain and I was having trouble seeing and breathing...   :roflsmiley:   I shut it down after I got some heat in the engine. I got it up to about 165*.  It needs to have the carbs adjusted to the new engine and the timing set. I will do that Saturday and get a video of it running then and post it up shortly after that....    :cheers:

    Thanks for all you fine folks support. This has been a year long journey...

    BTW  --  it sounds pretty bada$$.....     :bigsmile:

    Well, I FINALLY got the BEAST running under it's own power again after more than a year of rest in my garage at home. I am currently putting a couple of short videos on youtube and I will link them up here in a little bit so you fine folks can hear it run. It has a vacuum leak that I will address next weekend. The leakls are causing it to idle too high, but we drove it home -(10 miles) and it ran flawlessly. I had brought it up here to the shop to repair an oil pan gasket leak. It is dry as a bone now...    :2thumbs: 

    Anyway, stand by for the videos a little later today...    :cheers:

    Ok  --  at long last, here is the much promised video of the Beast running with the new bullet. The videos are cheesy cell phone quality and they sound crappy. Trust me - it sounds very healthy in person....

    First fire up - running the transmission through the gears with no load.

    My son pulling it out of the shop. We decided he could drive it home for me...   :bigsmile:

    I'm guessing anywhere from 9.50's to 9.80's depending on the air that day.  The last trip to the track the DA was 2973 and that slowed me down 2 1/2 tenths to 10 flat.  We shall see....    :burnout:   

    Have you ever taken your Beast to the track?
