Title: It's Alive!
Post by: G-dog on July 23, 2006, 10:34:42 PM

Well, 6.5 years later ,project 67 breathes today!!T.Jimmy &Geoffy helped me break the motor in .Aside from a leaky IDA &crappy fitting valve cover gaskets and a minor rocker arm issue she roared to life .OMFG it was exciting for an old fart like me to hear that 2275 thump!(Especially considering the only other aircooled motors I've ever owned were 1600 single ports) Hopefully tomorrow we can tune it up a bit and I can hit the line loc and do a huge burnout in the parking lot :rockon: .thanks again to Geoff &Jim for the help this week ,as it was stressful to Git er done! It 'll be nice to finally drive the old basket case after all these years seeing how I've never driven an inch in it .I hope I enjoy it cos if I don't,the first $500.00 takes it  ;) Any offers?!
