It Lives! Got the TA fired up a few minutes ago. So aft the only issue is a water leak from teh cross-over pipe on the back of the drivers side head. Seems the gasket fell off during install. Now if I can just get my fat hand back there to install a new one I'll do the intial heat cycle....
But the good news is it fired right up. Took it a minute to find idle & get oil pressure but then it ran fine.

Congrats!
Mine is sitting on all 4 wheels for the first time in months. I did a rough alignment and set the thrust angle on the rear. Next week the engine is in and it goes to Sean at Racecraft for new headers.

Yesrriee, and after hooking up the IAC tube & screwing the fuel regulator in an inch it's starting to sound pretty nasty.....aat least the dogs are scared & **** is falling on the floor all over the house & garage.....I take those to be GOOD signs. 
It does have a 2nd coolant leak. Looks like one of the block drain plugs above the oil filter this time.

Glad you got her fired up. 
Your neighbors are just going to love you. Sounds like you should have her ready for next Saturday. Can't wait to see the #'s on the New T/A.

Sorry, best I can do right now, hope that helps. I'll make a vid & see if Ellis can post it.
As for how much power, the #1 spot has always been my goal.
We'll see if I've got enough this time....

Absolutely, and I'm not taking it lightly as you well know.....
For those that don't know, I edited my sig to let the cat out of the bag. Hopefully she'll be ready for war Saturday.
Not finished, but running.
