Default L92 GT-47-88 Startup video!!!!

Well after almost exactly 1 year of parts gathering and build up, it lives!!!!
This is just a crappy video of the first start, and more will follow. Still have a bunch to do with wiring, gauges, radiator and fans and boost controller. Oh and chasing down 1 last leak on the trans cooler.
Here is the video.....

A couple of pics from last night.

How is the radiator tabs and fuel injector stands holding up? let me know if ya need anything else TIG'd up for ya!... we will have to get together soon, I should have mine fired up this evening as well... I will show you around to the various places to meet up!

Can't wait to see this monster in person!!!

Thanks for everything Chris.
You were a life-saver!
Going to try and get the radiator and fans mounted and filled today so I can run it more than few moments.
It sure was a great feeling pulling it out last night under its own power. Sure beats pushing and pulling the thing around!
Let me get a few little things ironed out, and she will be ready for its debut!

Juicy, that's awesome!! I am sure glad all of that hard work is finally paying dividends. We have over a foot of snow this morning. I won't be touching the car for a while. The video sounds Great! Can't wait to feel the torque. It will give me an excuse to come to NC. Keep me posted.

Wow...nicely done. Make sure to go big on the A/R. Makes a world of difference on power with the GT47's.

Oh, and for those wondering about spark plug access, as that has been brought up before.
Drivers side, from underneath all plugs in the open, minutes to access.
Passenger side, the DP is 2 piece, loosen the band clamp the slid the pipe back to access the front (2,4) plugs, the rest are from up top.
Way easier than an old LT1 f-body.
