Don't have any photos, but here is a 54 second movie of the first start for the 557 that's going into my '81 Zephyr wagon:

This is a mild, street engine for parts-chasing purposes Cool

wow very impressive piece there sluggo Shocked

... love the angel on the side of the head Smile

Yeah, that's Junior. He looks harmless, but he hits pretty hard.

He came from the sweetest 70 year old - little old lady - heart patient - that said prayers for me (of all things) to win the EMC this year.

Unbelievable, she has a heart condition, and she's praying for me.....I didn't have the heart to tell her that it would be like hitting the lottery the first time....next to impossible.

So, Junior went everywhere the engine did - right in the dyno cell every time. He got to ride 50 or 60 times over the last 2 month's.

I thought it was neat too. Thanks a bunch.
