Default Running 478M V6!

After a lot of procrastination followed by several set backs especially with the timing gear setup, some four massacred timing cover housings, creating fears of the engine blowing up upon initial startup, I finally put all that aside and got the 478M in my K2500 fired up and running today! Had a good hour of running and sounds real healthy, still a few little bugs to work out of he MSD HEI setup but definitely on it's way to be a driver by mid spring as soon as the rest of the front sheet metal is attached and the power steering conversion is finshed which is real close.
