Very good start, has potential, just keep on it.

 

It started up, but was it running good and smooth?

 

Dont run it more than a few seconds without atleast water and a radiator in there.

 

Hot spots can develope quick and warp all that hard work, especially on a fresh rebuild, needs to be broken in for 500 miles and change the oil/filter right then and at 1000miles too.

 

Just a few tips above.....

 

Need more pics of motor up close and interior, love the 720, addicted to those, especially since you have a unique year, first and last year of that body style (originally the last year of the L20B too).
