408 stroker and 200R4 ... it's alive!

It was a long freakin' day. What little we had to do dragged out all day and night. Everything on this car had to be made or modified. The detente cable was fine, but the bracket Art Carr sent to mount it, though it looked right and we modified it to hold the accelerator cable, too, wouldn't let the cable lock in place. We ended up running a zip tie under the tabs to lift them and lock it in place. After a long day, we finally made the final tranny cooler lines, dropped in the radiator, filled the oil, coolant and transmission and were almost ready. Last thing was to install the distributor, so we set it at TDC and dropped it in. All the worries were for nothing because it started right up. It runs beautifully and sounds mean. And holy **** is this thing fast! I will come up with a burnout video soon. We developed oil leaks at the front of the intake and at the oil sender adapter, and I have to fix those first before more driving. The transmission worked well and shifted good. This thing is scary fast and goes sideways when those tires start spinning hard! Sorry about the audio in the videos. It works on my phone but got lost in uploading to Youtube.
