Looks great

I bet you can almost smell that paint burning off that new engine. That first time firing up is almost euphoric :twisted:

Looks great! Just out of curiousity, what compression are you running? I've read some of those 352's are real screamers...

Nothing's sweeter than firing up a new engine!
Well, unless you have the distributor in 180º off by accident. :oops:

So, this engine is new new, or sorta freshened up? Just wondering, because the paint looks like it's already cooked off the exhaust ports.

i am not sure what the compression is. I pulled the engine out of an old 66' f250 i have. Just realised this morning that it was sitting too far forward so i need to lift it out and move the mounts bach 2 inches.
