Default It's ALIVE, it's alive!!!!

Well guys, I got the SOB running!!! Everything works, and it sounds GREAT! No tune yet. My back went out this afternoon, but not before I got it fired up!!! Thank you to all who contributed. Wife and I are gonna go for a well deserved ride, even if I have to use my gantry crane to lower me into it, and lift me out of it!!!! Convertibles have an advantage there!!! No tune yet, but it idles pretty good on old gas.

Get some fresh gas in 'er ASAP. Hopefully the tank isn't too full of old stuff.

I'll tell you what, Gary! You know you're old when you get an LS7 C5 vert running for the first time in 5 months, and instead of driving it you shut it off, take a hot shower, and lay on the heating pad for 3 hours!!!!!! Oh my achin' back!!

Ok guys, here’s Mikes (grinder11) C5 first start video with Tonys new cam, re-done heads, etc. It’s an LS7 so that’s why it’s here in Gen4….
