At the risk of jinxing myself, I can say that I've mostly just been driving it.
I had the parking brake and air conditioning fixed earlier in the summer (oh, and I had to replace the HVAC control unit), and I installed a dash cap (about 1/2 of the original vinyl on the dash was wrinkly and peeling) - although I don't love the look, it's good enough since I have no desire to take the entire dash out to get re-upholstered.
Anyway, I have about 6500 miles on this motor build, and everything is going well (if anyone remembers, I had to replace the fuel pump early in the summer, but that is not related to the work done at MMS). The motor is strong (it pulls hard all the way up to 7000rpm, but really comes alive over 4000), doesn't burn any oil or leak any other fluids, and I still average 30MPG.
Can't ask for much more.
Happy Labor Day to all my US friends (and a shoutout to my Canadian neighbors as well). Stay safe, everyone.
