Let's hear it for the Red, White and Blue!
First for all of the folks on here who served in our Armed Forces, thank you for your service to our country!
Second, to celebrate the Red, White and Blue, how about a few pictures this July 4? This is my new 351E as she lowers into my 1966 over the weekend. First fire should be any day now. Hope you enjoy. regards, Steve New Orleans

That looks good. It was a motor installing weekend for some. Vern here in the Northwest got his 292 dropped in. A few hours to go to get it running.

Attached photo is of Red, White, and Blue air bursts and Friendship of Salem (Mass.) by Mark Krasnow Photography by way of WoodenBoat. Reminds me of wooden ships and iron men with whom I was fortunate to serve. Good luck as your 351E makes fire. I'm probably not the only one who would like to be there but would settle for a short video with sounds of victory and smiles of joy.

Re: Let's hear it for the Red, White and Blue!
Well guys, thanks for the good wishes. Got first fire today. A bit of fiddling with the distributor, a bit of gas to prime the carburetor, and she lives. Only problem was after a few minutes, I had a puddle of oil on the ground! Fortunately, it was only the plastic oil line (stratoflex) that I used for the mechanical oil pressure guage. It looks like it came in contact with the exhaust manifold since I hadn't tie wrapped it down. Fortunately a small set back. It is amazing how much oil an 1/8" line can put out when it is under 60 psi. Back to auto parts store tomorrow for some more tubing and I should be ready to reinstall the front end and have a drive! Sorry, but I was working alone and didn't have the time for a video...
Regards, Steve New Orleans
