Great progress so far!

I think once you get a chance to drive it, you are going to end up re-thinking the use of the single plane manifold(but I understand free is good).

Single planes aren't as good as a dual plane in the lower RPM ranges for producing torque and HP. Being a street truck with what seems a mildly built engine, it may feel like a dog until you really open it up to higher RPMs.

At any rate, congrats that the engine is together. Hoping you will be driving soon.
