thanks! can't wait to get it fully buttoned up, will have to be next weekend probably.
Heres a short walkaround, engine start video. It runs pretty well I think, I have not adjusted the valves yet or changed any fluids. Not really any major leaks either

Heres a video of the first test drive with the 5-speed. I had an adjustment issue on the reverse/overdrive rod. you can see it pop out of gear and grind! Horrible to hear, especially with the floor missing. Thats been resolved now though, I had to have someone else come and shift while I was underneath to really identify the lack of travel issue. Hard to tell from one side, you need some help. For a 240 though, the car moves right along. Enormous improvement over the auto.
(wear headphones for the full effect of the grinding, it was a horrible noise) Taken care of now, thankfully. I was pretty unhappy for a moment
