I just got off the phone with John Beaver of Beaver Racing Engines who rebuilt the 455 I've spent the last few months getting into my coach and cleaning up the fittings and stuff. My end of the conversation: "Mr. John, it runs like a stripedey - assed ape, pulls like a mule, and idles smoothly. Oil pressure is 80 cold, 75 running, 60 idle. Temp is 180 solid on the highway at speed, slightly lower idling or running city streets slowly."
So, FINALLY, the thing is installed and working, with new steering pump, Cardone water pump -H model, new Manny Tranny (1000 miles before I lunched the old engine) and the like. I'll run it down to Perry in three weeks, and back. That puts 250 - 300 miles on the breakin. Mr. John says that's plenty, put the regular running oil in it, check no metal in the filter, and drive it like you stole it.

Now, on to the brakes...
