Default 416 is alive

D1 Procharged 416 off and runnin. Minor bugs to work out but runs real nice, first 50 miles today. Well worth bribing Kenny.....always have someone meticulous do the work, if it was up to me it would still be in the box next to my 540 or in the car with grease all over it...LMAO. I was amazed to see that after 90,000 miles the cross marks were still in the walls of the ol 5.7. A little more tune tweeking and break in and I should be ready to go broke keeping the tank filled Thanks Kenny....you the man
