1970 W-30 Engine Idling

Here is the engine, pretty much in stock form, idling in the cell before we made a pull.

we don’t use any of the small heater hoses. Just the upper and lower radiator hose, all the rest are blocked off.

We just did a 400G W30 that idled like that on the run stand. She wiggles a lot more in the car on rubber motor mounts.
