She's Alive - Another 383 running
Well I didn't get it on the first crank (I always crank it without fuel or spark plugs to aquiant the oil with the engine)
Well I didn't get it on the second crank (Yes you'll need to plug in the fuel injectors)
The third crank, wife comes running in the garage, nieghbor says oh crap there goes the neighbor, and for a moment God smiles...

ZD1 - Big congrats on getting her running. From your description of everybodys reaction, it would be cool if you could post a sound file of the beast.
