Default IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!

I fired it up after 2 years. I got it installed on the frame, ran a few wires and kicked it over. It fired on the second try. can you say ROARRRRRRR. There is nothinbg like the sound of 400+ horses idling through open headers.

I only ran it for about 30 seconds. I didn't have water or anything else hooked up yet. I just wanted to do a quick leak check and verify that everthing work right before i started putting the body and everything else back on. Lets face it. It's a lot easier to work on with the body off the car.

Pic to follow tomorrow. :D

I'm just soooooo excited. This darn project is almost over.
