Can't wait to read the message you post when you get it running. Maybe a little video too?

Nice job man.

Thanks, I'll try to video it. There's an all-Mopar show here on August 5th that I'm going to try like hell to limp the car to. We'll see how far I get.

First attempt to start it was successful!

Hopefully the video works

I'm pretty pumped! Mostly because I don't think I need to pull the engine that my buddy and I assembled, that's a good feeling. The wiring and electronics wasn't too much of a concern, the unknown status of the engine has been hanging over my head for awhile. I can rest easier and throttle down on getting it driving now!

I would have run it longer, but I sort of forgot to hook the oil pressure sensor wire back up, hence why I killed it after reading the gauge.

It did start a few more times and read as high as 50psi, we're good to go!

My helper came in to check some of my work. I got some good feedback and have some things to work on.

Now we get the truth behind who's been doing all the hard work.

Too cute.
