Default First startup of my 408W!
Well, I've been working on my build for seven months and finally got the engine started. The sound was worth the wait!

Jack,

It is fuel injected. I was a bit concerned about how it would idle with a stock Mustang 302 computer - but it idles nicely. I do plan on getting a custom chip burned for it though.

It is really smooth and deceptive: a true Asp. It idles like almost like a factory street car, but the 408W shows that it has bite. Good work!
