67 C30 VE Swap

[MAXX IT OUT]

I have been working on swapping a non intercooled VE 12V with a NV4500 into a 1967 Chevy C30. Just got the engine fired up for the first time since I owed this engine and i am not sure if its not running correctly. It just sounds a little weird when it is revved up, I am not sure if its just the hood stack or if something is wrong. Here is a video of it start and running.

What did you check with the motor before you installed it?

More or less nothing. It's only in temporarily and it is coming out soon to do frame work. When I bought the engine, I was told it ran when pulled.

I know it’s been 2 months now, so you may have figured it out, but you are correct it’s not running properly yet. The first thing I would check is to be very sure there’s no air intrusion in the fuel system. If it’s first time you’ve fired since priming fuel to engine, might be good to run it up to about 1800-2000 rpm and hold it there for a minute or two.

I removed the 5 gallon bucket fuel system, so it hasn't running since. I don't think its air in the system since I when back after that video and bleed them all with the engine running. I got clean fuel out of all 6 injectors, but 2 of them didn't cause the engine to stumble. I don't know if it some bad injectors or I have a pump issue.

A Side note, the radiator is and I just need to finish the plumbing for the fuel system, block off the heater hose ports, get the clutch hydraulics sorted, finish the brake system, then get the drive shaft made.
Hopefully i can drive it this year and have it finished ready to go by spring.
