Default It's finally alive!!!!!!!



Finally got it running tonight. Buddy has a vid of it open headers but this one is through the exhuast.

VERY happy with how it turned out. This is the first engine build I did completely solo, I usually had my dad there to guide me or I was helping my dad. No leaks and everything was working just how it should!

Just need to get the suspension done and front put back on, a few minor details, (heater hose in rear, paint calipers, wire line lock and two step) and it should be done.

I planned on doing more to the car but I think I am going to get some front A arms to compliment the k member and then I think I'll be done with this one.

Most of the modding is going to be on project 11S2KZ!!

LE Custom Cam 236/242 .612/.612 110+4 LSA
I had a 236/242 hydro in my 355 and it was nasty... Mine was .544/.576 on a 112lsa.... nasty little cam... I'm sure the one in your motor is savage...

sounds like an easy 11.20-11.40 on motor.....
