Well... it's chained to the cherry picker because I'm getting it ready to drop onto the motor mounts, but it's not balanced level. I chained it the engine so it will not bend the hooks, like it did when I pulled it.
As I mentioned, to do it again I would paint the engine block a different color than black, probably a light gray.
The bellhousing plate is not orange, it's actually the same color as the rocker cover.
Thank you, the video recording suggestion is a good one. I didn't think of that. I'll see how I can get someone to video me prepping and firing the engine for camshaft break-in.
I decided to install the stock exhaust header and exhaust piping with cat and muffler. I am very curious to see how much difference in a dyno test when I swap in the DT header and 2.25" exhaust. After its broken in for a couple thousand miles, I want to dyno it. The next day, I want to install the DT header and new exhaust, drive it for a couple days to make sure Mommy ECU is happy, then dyno it again.
I still need to buy a new O2 sensor because I don't know much heat they can handle. I'm sure when I over heated the engine, the stock exhaust header was probably glowing red, and of course the O2 sensor is sitting near the bottom of the stock exhaust header.
Gnarls.
they can handle the heat pretty well.
