Latest update:
I changed the oil last night and took the oil filter down to the machine shop today. We cut it open and inspected it for any metal content - the verdict is "excellent!" The oil and filter are clean! I did this for peace of mind, as well as hoping to catch any potential problems early if anything was going wrong inside the engine. Now I just need to drive it like I stole it!
If you weren't able to view the video on FB, I've posted it to YouTube as well:

After being off the road for 5 years, the Banzai Runner lives again!

Still have a bunch of details to finish up...
- Interior trim details on the reduced firewall bulkhead modification
- Install the deck lid shocks
- Install new Koni shocks
- Install new 7/8" rear sway bar
- Finish MSD cut-to-length wire set
- etc.
...but I'm driving again!
Special thanks to the PCNC crew for helping with the engine install, and especially to Bob Benson who loaned me his brand-new-in-the-box engine stand - he probably never expected that he wouldn't see it again for 5 years, and Rich Boschert who gave up his plans last night to help me identify a couple of "extra" wires in my harness, adjust the carb, and re-set valve lash on a wayward roller rocker (and double check that all the rest were sufficiently torqued)!
Cheers!
