The motor is working out great so far. Car still has some things to work out, though:
1) Heater core leaks. :| I guess that's what you get for leaving it sitting for months.... for now the heater has been bypassed. I won't need it for a while anyway.
2) AC needs to be charged. We had to discharge it to pull the motor. So, yeah, it needs to be charged.
3) Needs tires. The left rear tire has a flat spot on it. Makes the car vibrate to hell over 70mph or so.
4) General break-in, tuning, adjustment, etc.
So far so good, though
I'm not going to push the engine hard for a while. I've at least got to get the first oil change out of the way (that will be done at 500 miles)
The car ran well the whole way home. Idles well ,cruises well (except thew tire thing...) Oil pressure and temp gauges look good.
I'm going to try and get new tires tomorrow or monday, and I'm going to have to make plans to replace the heater core and charge the AC.
