I just wanted to do an update. Yesterday was the first drive with the new engine. I am taking it easy during break-in. Obviously power was there. I think I have some carburetor work to do because there is a hesitation.
Idle is choppy but no problem with the power brakes. I did the 5 speed with 0.64 5th and it cruises nicely at 65 - 75 mph / 1900 - 2100 rpm, and will still accelerate smartly
