We Have Lift Off... 
Finally came alive last night It's been many, many months in the making and it's finally starting to pay off. After another day of chasing down fittings, parts and other misc items Mike and I, with the help of Eric and his tuning savy, got her fired off last night. Was going to have vid but my camera guy had to turn in early last night so I'll post some vid later.
Was absolutely great to hear it fire off the first time we hit the key. Sounds damn good I have to admit. Better than I thought with such low comp motor and smaller camshaft compared to what was in the ole N/A 422.
Major props to everyone thats made this happen!!!Mike, IconAutoSports, couldn't have done it without ya! Eric, thanks again for going out of your way for me...I know there's more to come so we'll be seeing you very soon.

No problem man. Anything is better than sitting at the office staring at bloomberg all day. Sounded mean without any exhaust. Let me know when everything else is wrapped up and well work on it ve cell by ve cell.
