Rebuilt 2.8L V6 1986 Chevy Camaro Running

I got my fully rebuilt 2.8L V6 out of my 1986 Chevy Camaro running for the first time the other day after struggling for 3 weeks on the fuel pump not turning on, I went on to rewire the entire fuel electrical system. I currently have an oil leak coming from the front of the oil pan due to a poor gasket on my end, I already ordered a felpro gasket for it and hope this fixes the issue. This is a video of the engine running. https://photos.app.goo.gl/G3YDDTKe63iZjPYj6

Congratulations on this accomplishment. There is a true sense of pride in rebuilding one and seeing it run again.
