The Book of Wayne, pg 182... "5 hours to go"...

Just for you guys:
"At this point, you have completed the assembly of your long block... You should feel quite proud of yourself -- the hard part is over... From this point on, its smooth sailing."
I often doubted that I'd ever read those words (started 4 years ago). I'm so happy... YEAAAAA!!!!!
But, lots to be done yet...

The next step is the hardest. Not having a stroke when you first fire the thing up.
