I finally got done rebuilding my first engine!!! She is a 1970 Barracuda engine "J" Block. Tomorrow I"m gong to stab the 727 trans and drop her into a 73 Road Runner. I'm so excited!!! I Sooooo want to hear her crank

Are you going to paint the brackets, steering pump, pulleys etc before installing in the car? Looks like you are doing a great job. Keep it up and keep us updated, especially when it runs.
