I finished the transmission installation and started up the car and ran it through all the gears.

No leaks! Everything looks, sounds and runs good up on the jackstands. Later this week I will take it out of the shop and test the trans-brake.

Kevin’s motor was started up today. After a few minor problems, it ran very well. Very responsive and sounds powerful. Tomorrow the engine will be warmed up again and the valves set. It should be ready to put into the truck by this coming weekend. Kevin and engine builder Alvin are very happy!
