No new photos, but tonight we fired up the new 261 powerplant. It came to life 10 seconds after pushing the foot start! We set the timing and enjoyed the sound of the stovebolt concert.
I am a very happy camper! Now I can't wait to get the rest of the body parts so I can put this dude on the road.

Thanks to everyone for all the wiring and engine tips over the last year. I had no wiring issues and the gauges worked perfect. The engine was absolutely without any vibration, and zero leaks.
And those Smithys sound super.

I am a lucky guy.
