Default Happy Day - new engine break-in

Been building this engine for some time now. Going into my 40 to replace the cracked block fiasco. 276, blower, new Edelbrock 1116 heads.

Sounds great! I've already done initial starts on two flatheads and a Chrysler hemi on my test stand. It's gotten addictive for me. So much so that I am falling behind on my other projects just to start up engines. I have a fresh rebuilt Olds Rocket that goes on next.

I don't think your exhaust system will meet OSHA standards.
