Default stored rv-6a

I have recently had the pleasure of ignitingthe fire beneath a retired docs butt to get his project finished. I walked in on this Plane last week, and this is what I found.:
A near complete RV6-A with very maticulous work.
a complete panel to include full IFR and AP
a new, not rebuilt, 0-360 with TBI.
you name it has it. A beautiful piece of art/workmanship that was abandoned for lack of a test pilot, and some minor finishing touches.
I am going to run the engine up tomorrow as I cant find any reason not to, and plan to have the DAR meet me next week. are there any pearls of wisdom? I have not been involved in the building of this plane, but I plan to be involved in the finishing of it.
I have been around several kit planes that just didnt seem to "want" to fly. This plane seems tired of waiting. Any input would be GREAT!!!
Thanks
Daniel Kelley.

Thumbs up your diesel

Nursemandan,
You must have missed the 35 or so posts regarding "other" engines. Scroll down and read "choosing an engine". Very enlightning posts.
