Greg, that has to be the part of the build I'm looking forward to the most. Lighting off the engine. Sweet, I'm soooooooooo jealous:thumbsup:

Well.... that... and I was busy trying to dial in the stacks and get timing set and keep my thighs off those pesky headers!

I'll take the Go Pro next trip when it actually goes out and prances around a bit. Unless I pull a Todd and forget to charge the dang little thing!:woot:
Well that explains all those storms we had here in Tennessee!

Glad it lit off OK... keep the pics coming!

Lenie.... It's always fun to fire 'em off. But seriously -- this isn't anything special. I like the special stuff - THAT is exciting. This is just an ordinary little
ol' small block "chebby". It's been dyno'd -- so I already had the spec sheet... so knew what it was going to be like.

The mufflers they used were right on and it's got a nice hot rod sound. But because it's an EFI motor and not a particularly bad azz one - it's pretty smooth but has good cylinder pressure so sounds crisp.
:cheers:

Bill --

As I type this I'm watching the national news.... all I can say is WOW! What a disaster! We complain about the rain... I vow to never complain about the rain and grey again!

Thank you Mr. Obvious.

Glad it went well, it is always fun to fire it up and see what happens, what leaks, and what needs adjusting.

The horsey "prances" came in there because it's Ferrari red --- and their symbol is that horsey thingy.... :rofl:


As long as I'm posting (a whore as Todd correctly puts it)... Here's some Billet Specialties Billet Bling.........

And the bling continues.... as does progress towards a finished product in time to make the trek to Santa Barbara. Got some of the castings back from the chromer
