Its the Edelbrock High Volume one, so hopefully it rotates. We were hoping it does, but were too busy to take a look at it to see if it would.

After tonight we have done:

Welded air tubes shut  
Headers stretched onto block  
4 Qts Royal Purple Break-In oil added (3 left)  
B&M flywheel swapped on  
Motor sat and bolted down  
Art Carr Torque Converter put in TH400  
Tranny put up in place and bolted to engine  
Speedo Converter bolted onto tranny  
Tranny mount installed  
Crossmember reinstalled  
Torque Arm bolted back in  
Spohn Driveshaft bolted in  
Champion Rad sat in place

Im going to need a different starter because my OEM isnt going to work with this flexplate. Also need to run fuel lines, rad hoses, go through all the wiring of what I need/dont need and hook everything up, and a few more misc things.
