Default It's Alive !!!

FINALLY!! JRoss and I cranked the KC 482 and it emitted the most GLORIOUS rumble After tightening one fuel fitting we hopped in and drove it for 10 miles .. everything is fine. Clutch is a little touchy 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

I know its poor quality but here is a video I took on my phone of SSSammy's start up. Make sure your speakers are on.

Default 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 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!

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!
