Thumbs up It runs !!!!

I would have liked to link this to my past posts, but they go back so far...Wayne wasn't born yet !!!!

I've been working on this projest for 3+ years....first, on rebuilding my 2.7...when that became a waist of time/$$$ I got a 3.2 with 3 broken studs & was OFF TO THE RACES....well, you know what I mean.

the "while your at it races" tore down to short block, (90K motor, very clean inside) & then I installed new factory steel exhaust studs...new OEM rings...heads completely gone through (guides, valves, $$$, you know...)..."early" style SSI's & muffler...clean up everything...new injectors...repaint engine tin...SPECIAL THANKS TO Carl R. for taking it from short blk with new studs---to clean,properly built & cam timed long block...& Rolf G. for being there from day one (helping me pick a "good" 3.2 from the 8 that were available) & giving great advise, friendship, moral support, helping drop the orig 2.7 & helping sort out those last 5 or 6 wire connections from the '75 to the '87 DME wire harness...& to Brian G-P. who helped me plug the 3.2+trans back into the '75..I know one guy CAN do it...but that's just dumb if you can get help.
All together know & purrs like a kitten. I am so stoked....
Thanks for all the advise & helpful nudges I got from all of you P-birds..especially the "don't rebuild the 2.7..get a 3.2" people
