    Real cute. I'm hoping the engine will be back in the car next week.

    What should I do with the full tank of 15 gallons of E85 that's been sitting in my gas tank for 2.5 months? Just run it?

    E85 that's been sitting for a few months in the tank should be okay?

    Okay plan for tomorrow is to get the motor and trans in and put as much shit back together as possible.

    I'm nervous as hell about this motor, not really very confidence inspiring asking my first built motor ever to handle 6-800whp...

    So called it quits for today. Got a ton ton.

    The only thing left to do before first start is installing intake manifold and connecting oil lines to scavenge pump.

    First start should happen by the end of the week.

    Super nervous about the motor but we'll see...
