Well, today was the day, after lots of time and parts, I finally started the cj5's new motor. Other than a few minor leaks the 350 sounds and runs great. Initial break in is done, so now I just have to finish putting the front end back together and bleed out the brakes then I can take that first drive under it's own power. I can't wait!!!![addsig]

It is an awesome feeling!! I have been on the biggest addrenaline rush all day. I haven't built a lot of motors (actually this is only my 2nd complete rebuild) and to hear all that work come to life is just absolutely amazing. I really wish that I would have gotten into this hobby a long time ago, but I really am just getting a good start now. I am very lucky to have people, very much like the people online here, that are willing to share their knowledge and their time to teach and help me along.[addsig]
