The Red Mistress gave her heart away...

[Rootsy]

The 361 is going to a new home. I have "better" plans for the future. Besides I didn't want her to sit there and waste away in the corner of the shop waiting for the hull to get finished.

Finally had time to finish setting it up on the test stand and got it fired off tonight. Need to mount a drive to run the water pump so that I can get it fine tuned before I crate her and send her South...

She sounds pretty healthy and I am tickled pink. Idles nicely at 675 rpm with 15 degrees of initial.

A certain 18 is going to be happy ;)

Sorry bout the video quality... Youtube made it larger and therefore grainy... Cell phone video and the fuel pump and electric fan make it pretty noisy.

Wait a second. The red mistress, as in the red and white 18 barrel back from back in the day?

I was thinking more along the line of a 5.3 or 6 litre and some forced induction.
