Good, still breaking in the new motor. I haven't driven it in 2 weeks. I've been sick as a dog. Missed 6 days of work...

Looks great JM! I would have had the intake flange milled down if you get time you will be amazed at what you wouldn't have to cut LOL! It cost me $50 and took them a few hours to do it at a local machine shop down here. When are you guys going to fire it up? I am ready to hear the video of the beast!
