    The incremental improvement plan for my turbo 383

    Well it's been back in Chicago a month. I tried to fix the oil leak before driving it back, again. It did not work. I think I finally fixed it now with @af's help. Man what a pain it's been.

    The incremental improvement plan for my turbo 383

    Lots of computer work do to which surprises me a bit, the cam sounds the same as the old one. Maybe the new heads flow that much better :lol: Accelerator pump program is all wonky, start up program is wonky. Need to check fluids when cooled down. Warmed up it ran 50psi oil pressure @ 2200rpm...

    The incremental improvement plan for my turbo 383

    Pre flight checks are a go, after blowing off the upper rad hose cuz I forgot to tighten the clamp and bypassing the Hobbs switch which controls lockdown for the OD. Wasn't getting power to energize the OD circuit. Wish me luck!

    The incremental improvement plan for my turbo 383

    Well it runs. Finally. Took forever for the lifters to pump up, was afraid I wasn't getting oil up top. I didn't have a primer rod so I filled the filter half full and let it rattle till it primed. Sometimes that's just how it goes. Idled at a good 70,lbs as it was warming up. Now I have to...

    But they aren't that far away in 'C body miles'. Like the inverse of dog years, C bodies melt the miles away!

    The incremental improvement plan for my turbo 383

    My brother and sister in law flew up from Houston last weekend so we threw the hood back on it hoping for the best with the rest of the work. There's nobody around back there easily available who's strong enough. Even we struggled with it more than we did when I did my first engine swap in...
