:banana: Nice feeling when you get to fire up that engine for the first time.

Sounds great, it is a good feeling to have the engine back in.
Congrats

Sounds great ! Congrats..

Just wish I woulda been home to actually start it myself. Just a few more weeks and she will be all mine

Alright I decided to upload a few pics of the engine and the cowl hood that was hand painted. I tell ya Tim is a mater with paint. I know the tires aren't the original ones for a 71, but I think they just look better.

everything is so nice!! congrats man!

Does it really matter to you if they are original ? Do YOU like them ? That is all that matters.

Doesn't bother me one bit that they're for a 70. I feel they look and go better on the 71 than the dishes. Also gonna retain the front bench for other uses. Chuckle. Just two weeks left and I'll have full pics, video and dirving impressions.

Ummm... those are the correct style/type wheels for a 71' - 72' SS Chevelle. Not sure who told you otherwise. :confused:

Engine looks good, it appears you have a 67' - 69' style intake manifold on it. (high rise vs. the 70' & later low rise intakes)
