That's exciting! Looking forward to seeing the video/pics/first impressions. I assume its going to be delivered, but it might be a hoot if you had to go get it.

Delivery. Drive just called he a couple of hours away. Jake says no extended hi-way driving on a newly reconstructed engine.

Jake pushes against picking it up from him as you would then have to pay GA state taxes. By shipping it out of state you apparently avoid the taxes. He also doesn't want you to break it in on the highway as he wants it to get full and varied use of the RPM band rather than just cruising.

When I get her's done one of these years, I'll insist that he uses "gnat's best towing service" for the return delivery. Or at the least have the delivery location at a convenient hotel across the GA/SC border so we head over to the mountains and pick up the Blueridge Parkway for the return trip.

True and partially true. Jake has already "broken the engine in" the rest is "driving the engine in" which requires variances in rpm and heat cycling defined as gaining full heat soak then cooling back to ambient temperature. Long hi-way cruising does nothing to help with heat cycling the rebuilt engine which helps the seating in of various items internally.
