About 2 months shy of the 3-year anniversary of the build.....IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!

On 4/24/09 we ran the engine for the 1st time on my freind Kurt's home built test stand.  We ran it for about 15 minutes and it ran right at 175 degrees with 50 psi of oil pressure at idle. 

The below movie is taken from my phone, IT SOUNDS MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!

4-28-09: The first file was taken with my cell phone and is awful.  The "2nd Start" video is much better...

5-17-09: The engine is back home!  I spent today getting it bolted into the subframe, installing the starter and flywheel.  I have ordered a hyraulic clutch kit that should be here ny next weekend.  Once I get that installed, I can put the tranny back on and bolt the subframe to the car for the final time (I hope!).
