A bit more to the story
Thanks Chaps - very kind words (and Emojis
)I do have a confession to make - I did make one huge blunder. I didn't put any sort of sealant on the head studs when I put them in.  As a result I had a water fountain running out of all the head nuts.   So.... off with the heads again and remove, clean and refit all 48 of them. I used a sealant I luckily already had. I previously used it to seal the LPG lines on my ute. It was expensive from memory, but it is the bee's knees.

Update
Thanks Ryan
Never get tired of firing a flat head V8 up. I agree with you, there is something special just watching it while its running.  Brief update, First picture shows how i primed the engine lubrication system. Oil pressure took a little while. But is now at 50 to 60 PSI, so very happy about that. Timing was very advanced so I have adjusted it back, 5 degrees before TDC. Advance as it revs up working fine. Carbie is flooding so I'll rip it off and sort it out. When I pulled the heads off to do the head studs, I realised just how much scale and crap was in them. I decided to clean them using hydrochloric acid. It did an amazing job!!. I was stunned at how much crap came out. What was good was just how clean they were after about 12 hours.
