Thanks for the thumbs up guys, it was a great thing to hear it run after a 1.5 year build time. It sounds fantastic a very different sound from my Daytona coupe, even though they both are running 347's. The coupe, through it's side pipes has a much deeper exhaust note. As those of you who have a 40 or have heard one live know,they have a sound all of they're own. Yes, a 347 is note going to rev as high a 289 or 302 but you can't beat the extra low end grunt.
I now plan to get the chassis to North County for final paint and assembly before Christmas.
