It's Alive !!!
 
FINALLY!! JRoss and I cranked the KC 482 and it emitted the most GLORIOUS rumble :D:D After tightening one fuel fitting we hopped in and drove it for 10 miles .. everything is fine. Clutch is a little touchy :eek: Will get a few more miles Sunday before heading down to Heath to the engine party.

It will certainly be at the Feb meet, if the weather allows ;)

Cheers,
Sam

What a great sound.
 
Nothing sounds quite as good as a monster FE. Did you notice the lighter weight front end?

Gregg, glad to do it .. and hope you enjoyed this little taste of home :)

John, amazing audio from a cell phone! Thanks for posting :D David, I am going to measure the suspension height to see, but no, I didn't detect any difference in handling or ride. Acceleration .. yes! :eek::eek:

I'm gonna go start it up again in a few minutes .. ahhhh, it's great to have the house smelling of exhaust fumes again **)

Congrats Sammy!
Your neighbors probably thought, "Thank God, he got rid of that noisy car."
Oh what a surprise when the monster block started shaking the windows!
