Talking lsx first start! progress!!

Got the 4.8 started on the stand just to make sure it all works before we drop it in the car.

Its going in a 66 LeMans convertible (GTO Cloned)

Ill consolidate all my photos and videos to a singe thread when we start dropping it in.

Just wanted to post this milestone my dad and I reached on fathers day.
