Hey Guy's
        After almost 3 years since I started this project, I've finally started my engine! Now I understand what Tracy meant when he said it was the closest thing a man can get to giving birth.

        It was a little slow to start due to all the heavy gear oil I used when rebuilding and when it did start it cleared out all of the mosquitoes with the smoke, but it quickly cleared up and now starts easily and idles well.

        I'm still waiting on delivery of the 321SS tubing for the exhaust so the outlet of the turbo is the only exhaust system right now, but it was certainly no louder than any Lyc.

        WhooooHooooo !
