It Lives!

It took it's first breath today. It started quickly and made good oil pressure. A sign of good things to come. Now all that's left is:

PCM Tuning
Criuse control
Exhaust
Heliarc fitting to condenser, complete A/C (complete)
Install radiator and fans (complete)
Install proportioning valve (complete)
Bleed brakes
Install SFCs (complete)
Shifter cable (complete)
Tach adapter (complete)
Put hood on, seats in, etc. (complete)
Odds and ends.
Springs

I am sure I forgot something, but it is progress nevertheless.

so you started it without anything to cool it?

It will be fine, i'm sure they turned it off before it even warmed up. I had my engine at 300deg once and nothing happend to it, i didn't know the pcm could count that high, lol , basically my hose came off and i didn't know it before it was too late, this was right after i swapped in the ls6 block, man i was discouraged.


Got any videos of it yet, idle etc. I can't wait to see what you run in the 1/4, don't even bother with street tires, go out and get you some et streets or something, then run that badboy


see ya,
