Ken,You might be putting Kevin into a tough spot asking if you should crate up yourengine for a 1,000 mile trip. It really depends on how experienced an enginebuilder you are, and what you might need (tools, parts, experience, knowledge)to make sure your first engine run is a success.Based on my experiences from attending 5 colleges now, I can offer you this:If you are NOT a gear head - If you have an issue during your first engine run, William is there to help- he is very smart! - William brings the setup to pre-oil your engine and to visually ensure oilis flowing from all the rocker assemblies - William will ensure you have set your initial timing. If you did it right(or admit you are not sure) he will show you how to set it / check it at WOT/fulladvance.If you ARE a gear head - If you find an issue at the last minute William has the parts and tools toovercome many common simple first start issuesYou will never regret the fellowship. Along with several others, I continue toattend the colleges in Barnwell because of the people..As to what to bring, or not, William has his standard intake system (intake pipesand carb). If you have a non "WW" standard intake it may be difficult to hookupto his test stand. He provides an exhaust system, battery, fuel, baffle- everything most of us do NOT have when we want to run our engines for the firsttime. It is actually best to use his test stand components as it speedsup the engine test stand usage. I hope this helps.
