ABANDONED Chevelle will it RUN AND DRIVE 600 Miles Home?

I take a 1200 Mile Road Trip for a 1966 Chevelle Rescue. I put together a 355 small block chevy with some parts laying around the garage. I loaded that up and drove it to North Dakota, where I purchased this 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle site unseen. I spent weekend putting in the motor and transmission - then attempt a first start with the new engine followed by the long ride home alone!
