Re: 1972 k30

After wrapping up the crossmembers we pulled the engine out for the last time. We were getting pit crew fast on pulling and installing it from how many times we had it in and out of the chassis. In a few late evenings and couple beers we shoehorned a redneck run stand together to break the engine in. Steve made a pre oiler tool out of a extra hei I had robbed parts out of and then he lit it off for it's maiden run. Hearing it with no mufflers I think some electric cut outs may be in the future just to be obnoxious We reinstalled in the chassis and mated up the torque converter, trans and 205.
