After waiting to charge the battery I finally got the 552 fired! Sounds kinda healthy except for the starter & flexplate being close friends, that & an oil leak. I plan on addressing those two problems as well as finding the water restrictor & getting it hopping in the morning. Hopefully I can find my home made starter spacer

Cool beans dude

Awesome Rick!

I LOVE hearing the sounds a engine makes when I start it up the first time!

Need video. Can't wait to hear it run.

Soon as I get the starter & oil leak fixed there will be video

About time...

You suck, Rick. I am still weeks away from getting my project running. A healthy motor is always music to a hot rodders ears.

And I though that noise was the Air Force playing with B1's over at Dyess...
