Default SHOCKING..or not...

I hooked up the battery, turned the switch, and BOOM .. actually everything worked.

I don't know what I expected, but I was a little scared to turn the switch the first time. I even cranked the motor over (ignition box off) and ran some oil through, then hooked up the oil lines... the small pool of oil confirmed which side of the engine adapter was in and which was out...and the fact that the oil lines were not hooked up... After hooking all the lines I left the return end loose and turned the engine over until oil appeared through the return line, hooked all the lines up and actually had oil pressure register!!! Now its time to just add water ! and maybe fuel!

Sounds Great! We are getting close, just waiting on some parts from ERA. We did turn it over once and even that was enough to send chills up and down my spine. There is a whole lot of metal moving around in there!

Chill,
Have you gotten all the air bled out. Check you free travel. The rod from the slave to clutch fork should be just loose enough to turn freely.
