Congrats! I'm right there with you. My pump is rebuilt (or should be, I haven't called), engine is built, now for interior and various little items and I hit the water......

I'm still trying to figure out the best way to do that first fire. Don't want to run the fresh pump dry or with a hose the first time, don't want to be an hour from home the first time the engine fires....

And it looks like I pretty much have to pull the engine to disco the driveshaft ...
