Default First drive!

Got most of the problems sorted with my new engine/tranny install, balancer was bad, main ground wasn't great, oil filter blew all over(bad seal on it) but got it running well, double checked everything and after the 30 minute run-time to get rid of the assembly lube and 15 quarts of oil later...I took her for a spin regardless that theres hardly any interior still...I know not a good idea but it was necessary! She has better manners now, better idle, I went a couple miles only and when I was near home, I goosed it but only a little, maybe 2500-3000 rmp worth, that was enough to break the rear end loose and give me a big ****-eating grin! Anyway if you all would like some pictures I can probably do that, not sure how you all are doing sound clips but it sounds rreally good. Thanks for all the help along the way!
