List,
I should get my car on the street by spring.  Unfortunately, I've needed to 
make several adjustments with the car running (such as getting the cooling 
system running, the oil filter working, and all the other innane questions I've 
asked).  To date, however, it still has less than three hours of run time since 
the rebuild.
        I've heard that a good method of breaking in these motors is to floor 
it in first gear.  Would folks elaborate on this method?  Others say just to 
drive it normal.

Thanks,
Paul Dorsey
