1st Start
 

now we ALL love 1st starts !! well here is how it went down ...

1st off it fired up and ran perfectly right off the bat (no lie), BUT someone forgot to plug an oil galley in the back of the block and oil went EVERYWHERE !!! LOL

Other than that I could not be more happy, this thing is running perfectly
BIG thanks to Paul that did a great job on building the motor and putting everything together with me
