Default Finally started my new engine

After almost two month of working nights and weekends i just finished installing my new engine tonight. A mecanic came tonight to fire my new engine. Everything work just fine, my Baby got a new heart. It sound real good with my headders. I might get it on a dyno next month to know what it really got in HP.

I have to thanks everyone that help me in answering my questions.

I took my first drive tonight and there's a big difference compare to my old one. On top of that i have the sound of the headders that make it feel stronger too. I will have some minor adjustment to do but i really like it. Not too loud and just loud enough to have a nice conversation inside and still hear that i not having a 4 cylinders.
