We have ignition!
Today I was able to finally fire up my 350. What a great feeling it is to have all of your hard work come together and make a brand new engine come to life. Thanks everyone on these forums who have helped me get this thing going.

My dad took a short video of it which you can see here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSiOK1FFh38

We had fans hooked up blowing on the Jet Hot coated headers, which was suggested if breaking in on a new engine.

Congratz, I just drop a new 350 I built in my RS at the beginning of this month so I know the feeling.

Sweet! Sounds like a killer cam or still needs a little tune. Either way, sounds great.

What's with the fans and tent? Still hot down there in Atascadero?

Good for you bud, I'm sure the fruits of your labor will be well worth it.
Hopefully we'll see the new beast up here in the future again.

Re: We have ignition!
It just has a mildish cam in there right now. The engine was not tuned at all during that video and it was running a bit lean. The fans were for the JetHot coated headers. They told me they didn't like them being broken in on a new engine, but to put fans on them if I needed to. It was also a pretty hot day.

Now my next project: T56 install..

Re: We have ignition!
You'll probably be helping me with the '54 before the 383, but of course, I'll definitely need help with both.
