Hey thanks! I like what you are doing to your bird as well! That is some intense fab work you got on your plate there.

After building a new section, we are now in a crank/no start scenario and getting funky readings on the MAP sensor and IAC. Because weekend, we are now on hold for tomorrow to call Edelbrock support to see what they can see through troubleshooting.
Getting a little worried since we are going through a decent amount of cranking to get this to start on a fresh engine. Should I be worried about wiping a cam lobe if the engine is just going at cranking RPMs? It's a Comp Cams XE274H.
Also, minor leak from main seal in the middle of all this. Hoping that can be chalked up to cold engine that hasn't grooved in the seal.
Venting session over. Time to move on to the next week.
