Default Its Alive!!!!!! Mwa Ha Ha Ha Haaa!!!

the motor is in, still open headers but she runs!!! i almost busted a gut when they called me and cranked it for me. i cant believe it. i started this project last august and it's just now running. that cam was just poppin all over the place. i cant wait to hear it first hand. and then, wait, i get to drive it too, its been 3 1/2 months since ive driven her. this is what i feel like right now ---->

Mine hasn't been on its own power in 3.5 years....and counting. I don't want to be the winner of this contest though.

Don't worry about that cam. Just looking at the durations, should be pretty friendly with the M6. It's not too small and should have a pretty good RPM range.
