First start LT1 383 stroker

Hi all..

Today I fired up my LT1 stroker rebuild. The whole process is blogged about in this link : http://thomas-chevy-c4.blogspot.com/. The build is based upon a 383 short block from Golen Engines and a Trick Flow heads and kam kit. First time ever built an engine myself.

First start recorded and uploaded at Youtube ;-)
