I just built up a 355 for my 64. Im having some issues with th car just like the car I tore out the old motor. It wouldent start after I got it all together so I put in a new coil and ingition module and it fired right up and I took the RPM's up to about 3000 (just did it by ear) and I was told to do this for about 15 min well about 5 min in it started getting too hot (about 225 degrees) so I shut it down. Now the question is should I run it up like that again or is my cam broke in? Another problem im having is when the car runs it sounds like a lawn mower and I tried to advance the timing alittle but it dident help much and I was wondering if I should advance it more or is there something else i need to do? and last but not least the car wont go into gear!!!! the shifter cable works and everything it just wont move when the car is in drive. I put a new torque converter in and spun it in and went past the 2 clicks when installing it but idk if thats the problem or not. If anyone has any tips it would help Thanks
