Lots of smoke initially, due to grease burning off of the newly installed headers, but otherwise no issues. Idled long enough to get up to operating temp, thermostat open, fan running, No check engine light (yay). Brake pedal is nonexistent, so I've got to do some more bleeding apparently.
The stock boot was very bunched up and restricting movement of the ZFDoc shortened shifter. I've got a new shifter boot and console armrest cover on the way from redline goods, will take pics after install.
We're gettin' there!

 Congrats! Love the look of those seats! They look very comfy! Maybe you can take her to the dyno when she's up and running to see what kind of power she's making?
