Awesome work. I tried to access your homepage, but it told me access was restricted. Have pics of the exhaust and engine bay, etc? Pretty cool how after you get it started EVERYONE suddenly is interested. You started a major project that rarely gets finished by alot of people. You made it happen, so now others know it's possible. I'm sure you'll get loads of more questions and quickly become an expert to the rest of us.

It started up that smoothly first try? That is great! Sounds smooth and reliable, and probably has a lot of power too. Joe

Just went for my first ride. Holy Crap, this motor hauls. Right off idle the tires chirp. I 'm still need to bleed the brakes more and balance the steering more. Other than that, just start cleaning up the wires.

That's awesome, Buddy! You'll be very pleased with the driveability, performance, and efficiency of the engine and trans package. Hard work pays off. Now go enjoy it!
