So the conversion only took about 2 weeks of working on and off,
alone, and I immediately took it across the country! I don't know how many
people can say they put 1 tank of gasoline on an engine conversion before
taking it the next 3000 miles, but I can!

i did a similar thing.  i started the engine of my home build 15 degree
inline vw swap for the first time, then two days later i was on the road
for a 10,000 mile break in trip.  drove from michigan doodle bug style
out to Seattle for Ivars fireworks then down into oregon, then back up to
the highline highway 2 back across the country through the UP of michigan
and back down to the state to ann arbor.

it was a great time with lots of great memories :).
