New engine fire up!

Hey everyone.

Yesterday, in the rain, we rolled out our new motor for it's first fire-up.

Got a video here, taken by my friend Adam (MotorPsycho):

Note the rollcage shroud consisting of SFI rated curtain!! lol. To stop the rain from getting on me.

For those interested, the new motor is:

484ci KB hemi
Littlefield 14-71 Hi-Helix
BAE dual plug fuel heads
Stage 5 rocker assemblies
Dual Mallory Supermag III
3 Speed Lenco
Crower Pedal clutch

Idle was quite high, but it was the first fire and your bound to have those problems. We blew a crank seal when we revved the motor, but new engine issues are always going to be about.

Once the body is back on after it's trip to the paint booth, and some other bits are done, i'll put a photo up!

As long as the weather holds up, next weekend is the Easter Thunderball at Santa Pod Raceway, looking to bed the motor in and start running some really quick numbers.

Thanks for reading

 

Always neat firing it off for the first time of the year.

But pretty boring if it isn't blown.

 

Great job guys!No leaks or any other problems,got to be proud of that.
