It's alive! I ran it for a second and blew oil all over the engine bay and gas is leaking out the intake runners into the valley pan!
On a more positive note, I got to hear it run. Still waytoo much to do to make the Nats or Woodward, so I'll be tearing the valley pan up off of the engine and sealing everything again. The dual feed line is leaking on the carb. Along with the intake. I have to find a oil pressure sending unit that actually fits the provision. So another year watching the cruising.
There's always next year.
