Glad to see you're going to be able to wait until the final clarification before spending $ on a new motor. Daniel (bought Wade's car then blew it up on his first day out) went ahead and got a new motor put together with a normal crank.

My engine/trains are in the car, exhaust up. Just need trans fluid and put in the alternator/radiator and install the upper intake.
Maybe 3 hours until vroom vroom... Most likely will be Thursday. Keeping my fingers crossed.
I need a way to get on HHR (Corey) or COTA (way too high) or even TWS for a few laps. I do not want to load up the RV and all the race crap to find out something is still wrong.

Jerry, do what I always do, rent a dyno for an hour and just beat on it while having them watch the AFR. Well worth the money and you get to stand next to the car and listen/watch everything. Around here it's $100, I'm sure there are a few options around Austin...
That is my plan. I'm having mine retuned anyway, so will use the "warm up" time to just run it up/down for 20-30 minutes.
That method did not work to break in my motor last year and I had to go back for a 2nd dyno (actually 3rd since I discovered I'd spun a bearing on the first go).
Mach1 that 5.0 was never dyno'd as it was in a street car.
Unless its a dyno dynamics load dyno then it wont help or simulate anything. Track testing is best.
