Its official- they both live!!!! Just have a small water leak from the water intake(its always where you can't reach it) Due to one of my best friends engine expertise(thanks Cliffy!!) put fuel and water to it, and bam- lit off the first turn of the key.
It goes to RBI for the rest of the wiring tomorrow, if my luck holds a water test will happen next week.
Thank you everyone for your support and help!!!

Still waiting on the wiring
Was supposed to be done Monday, Monday stretched to Tuesday- had just an hour left on Tuesday so I left it till Friday- Friday I show up at closing and they still have a long way to go- so I grabbed it and at least put the other drive and tie bar on- I will try to post some pics up tonight. I can't complain too much because what they have done so far is looking pretty good

some close ups of the wiring in process- the first one is the fuse block, the second two is the back of the dash

Boy it looks real good man! I love the clean look at the back. Mine seems cluttered with the external steering rams!
I should have taken a week off from work and flew out there! We could have had that thing wired and in the water by now!

Look'n good Scottie. Been following yours and 502's project threads for awhile. Won't be long now. Post some pics on the Club Scarab thread. Got a couple other left coasters on there also.
