It's going to be difficult to determine what's wrong from that video, sound quality isn't the best. When I did my first engine swap, the car started up with a crazy knocking noise, but after driving it around the block a couple times, the lifters pumped up and the noise went away.

How much have you driven it?
Any codes?
What's the mod list?

haha ya jason he was just joking, i got it running earlier today, its open longtubes with a pretty hefty cam over .600 lift so its preety ****** loud, not to mention the cars been on hold because of weather/ band crap. Still gotta clean up some stuff but it starts and idles just fine, cant really hear the lifters or anything for that matter due to how loud it is

Thanks guys, I can't wait to get it on the road, still got a little ways to go, but this was a big step, I owe a lot to my buddy Rory(lowerthanyou00), he tackled the wiring himself, and got it running for my birthday, he surprised me and used his 2 days off to work on my car, just to have it running for my birthday.
