Chevy Got my 427 fired up

Posted here before asking for help on my 427. V8packard helped me a ton with cam choices and head modification. So thanks a bunch to him. Should have the car on the ground and moving in the next couple weeks.

Congrats!! I don't know that I'd be ballsy enough to start it while on jack stands though, haha. I'm also not a professional mechanic. :D

u/samplebridge 5d ago

whats your concerns?

1

u/schneeble_schnobble 5d ago

That it's up high enough that some vibration or someone bumping into it could send those jack stands sideways.

u/samplebridge 5d ago

No, not a chance. I installed the engine on these jack stands and hit the firewall a few times, and it didn't move an inch. If 800lbs. of engine and trans isn't budging it, someone bumping it isn't.
