I got some fire out of the pipes today on the 1st startup with the new heads,headers but not without the coil giving me a problem and I was able to swap it with a spare and she roared to life all be it only for 30 sec.I kept it short to look over things and the neighbors coming home from work can have some peace untel tomorrow when I can make a video of the event.I put the camera away after having the coil problem.I am kind of savering the moment/relief also.I wanted to let you know I made some progress.

Thanks for your support!Not that my video is ground braking but to show a milestone in my progress.I only have a couple gallons of fuel so I have to make the most of the startup procedure,Ya $$ is tight.I sware I have said in 2 weeks it will be running at least 4x. Well at least I am there now is all I can say for now.

The aaaah ooooh was how abrupt the engine stopped but she restarted no problem after that when I checked.I did not want to rev the engine having not checked the valvetrain yet for the first time.When I do you will hear it,OK?

Good news,The valve train all checked out with no lash change so I will go ahead with a full warmup process and settings.Not much is going to happen for a while,just adding an O2 bung and Lava wrapping the other header,finish fuel cell straps,connect intercooler water lines/fill so I will be more than ready when I get some $$ next month.Thanks for your interest!
