ITS ALIVE!! Crappy cell phone video, but it's all I had at the time.

It has an oil leak, and the carb is leaking from the dual feed line. But it idles and sounds wonderful. I'll add some water tonight and see if the heater core leaks. If it does I'll bypass it for now. I need to borrow a timing light so I can set the advance once I fix those pesky stout springs in the distributor.
It sounds healthy and holds some really good oil pressure!
I have some more pressing matters that require my monetary attention, but I'll keep on fixing the little things and looking at a bit of road time next week or the week after. Trans goes through all the gears(except reverse. Still need to figure it out. Probably have the lever flipped.)
I'm pretty pleased! Very happy with my engine purchase from David Eschedor, and also some guidance in what it likes tuning wise from its previous caretaker, Doug Markel. Couple of great Mopar guys.
I still have some things to fix before it hits the road, but the list keeps shrinking!
2nd More to come.
