thanks man i have been doing research and stashing parts under the bed for a year now. and i have seen everyone elses lately and mine is finally alive woohoo took her around my neighborhood and it seemed pretty good other than the clutch adjustment

heres a few more pics of the final thing in

i am buying a new electric fan from the spped shop that helped me out said they would only charge me half of what the normal hour rate is and they do a really nice job with stuff. as they have a dyno so when i get a few miles on her i am going back down there

I'd be a little concerned about the amount of smoke coming out the tailpipes. All new engines smoke at first, but then it goes away after awhile... like after 1/2 hour or so of running it. I hope there isn't a problem with it. Sounds good though.

Looks awesome, sounds even better. I need to get some sound clips up of the 331. The choice of color on the block is different, but I like it a lot. Great job man. Now gets the bugs worked out and I want to see a tire roasting video

my car smoked like a train for the first 3 days I had it running... but it stopped and doesnt even smell anymore. I figured it was probably because EVERYTHING was new... heads, motor, headers, H pipe..

jtmustang

yes all the smoke was from the motor it had just started so it was cold and it is cold here. no worries it does not smoke or anything when warm

in time i will have no problem of making a nice smoke show vid. but right now like you have to just break it in and get a few miles under her belt to make sure all is good.

i am having a problem gettin the ckutch adjusted right. a guy told me to move my firewall adjuster all the way in towards the firewall and then get underneath and tighten up the nut on the cable until it gets pressure on it and then lock then nut. and then go back and adjust the adjuster out until i get the pedal around the middle and what feels good? i am just gettin a lot of chatter and it engages towards the top i need to get it back down does this sound right as adjustment wise??
