Default It runs!!!

I've posted a couple of times over the last year about my 1998 Volvo V90/2004 GTO w/t56 swap.

Well, I started it today and it seems to run fine.
Didn't run it long, have to get my PS lines figured out first, but turn the key, and it starts, idles, and responds to the throttle.
What a relief!

Now comes 101 odds and ends, with the biggest being the exhaust system.

Just had to tell someone besides my wife......

Always a great feeling.

My wife was out trying to take pictures when I first started mine. She didn't understand why I stopped it so quickly just because there was a small fuel leak and open headers.

It was getting dark, too. The exhaust was throwing some fire!
