Need to put the cooling system back in it.
Waiting on the converter. Then put the trans back in it.
Take the valve train off to retorque the heads, and put that **** back together.
...and wash it in case it don't run good.

I'll be at Bayou Drag in Sealy next weekend.

I'm guessing it was a combination of things, but mostly the fact that the converter had the motor on lock down. Causing it to rattle the heads a bit.
