Default Cruisin with the new engine

I haven't posted a video of the drive with the engine that PeteK had built for me. So today when running to the store I decided to do a short one to share with you guys.

Ported Patriot heads

Hoping to be on a dyno in a few weeks, and trying to get into a test and tune day only at the track. I'd like to start and get some documentation done.
