Default Fired up my junk for the first time this year!

I got the oil changed and the new battery in and fired it up, MUSIC TO MY EARS! I can't wait to take it for a ride but, I have to get some work done to the trans(M6) the T bolt has backed out about an 1/8 inch and the throw out fork is grinding the presure plate. I would fix it myself but I had my second shoulder surgery in the past 7 months 3 weeks ago so trans work is out of the question for a while.

In case anyone was wondering I'm running a forged 383 eagle rods and crank with srp pistions and a Joe Overton cam.

Yeh I think I might have gotten one of his last cams or close to it. It took alot longer to get it than he said and I couldn't get ahold of him to confirm the delay I was getting a little nervus but I finaly got it. I won't be able to post any video until I get my clutch isue fix because I don't want to start it again until I get it fixed I don't want to chace the throw out fork binding up the motor, It was knid of a pain getting it started with the problem.
