New Engine Start-up ?

same solid cam, same lifters in the same bores..

Scared myself though.. A few seconds after start-up I dropped it into first to pull it out of the garage and NO GO! Brand new tranny and it was reving to 3000 before a budge! Uh Oh! Looked under car and you guessed it.. FLUID DUMPING out of the bellhousing! uh0oh front pump? improper install? I shut it down and went to the gym.. Just looked under the car and realized that a fitting was lose on the braided line from the tranny to the cooler! It was pumping fluid onto the rear of the bellhousing.Whew! An easy fix..

 

74, where in STL are you? I go there 4-6 times a year for work. (company HQ there)

 

I live about 20 miles south of the city. In the Arnold/Imperial area.
I usually attend some of the local car cruises in the Arnold area but of go down south to Festus too. I have not went to many shows this year but mostly evening cruises.

 

hehehe.
I did almost exactly the same thing when I broke in my current camshaft. Left a transmission cooler line off. duh!!!
No PM by the way.
