And if you watch close you can see it did it's first burnout

When it cools down I'll pull the plugs back out and see what there is to see.

Way to go Mark! First time it's moved under its own power since????

That's an impressive achievement , considering what has been done . Your skill , dedication and perseverance is second to none .
Really well done

Awesome sound! More! More!

well....i know i drove it to this house, that was spring 2005. I think I know I officially started this project Nov 2007, but that is the beginning of the V12 work, I'd been planning a HUGE supercharger on the V8 and I'm pretty sure the engine was already out to do flow work on the heads.....I say it last moved under its own power in 2006. Its been a long time.

Its about fn time!! Congrats Marky!

Btw, who's the guy with the white hair??

I think I'm out of clean spark plugs......also a curious neighbor from up the hill, basically as far away from me as he could be and still be in my development popped in yesterday and during the conversation mentioned the whole neighborhood knows when I'm working on the car. He didn't mean it in a bad way, but I'm not so sure all my neighbors feel that way so I'll probably close the valves to the race mufflers and operate on the quite mufflers while I'm working on the basic low power issues.

I'd forgotten how sensitive this clutch is, or perhaps the last linkage I built was a different ratio. That may need to be addressed.

One thing that struck me is the engine didn't seem to much care rpm wise what the clutch was doing.....I suspect this thing has some torque.

That is what a project like this does to you........

FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!

Way to go! So much satisfaction in getting her running huh?

Sounds good, even from crappy laptop speakers. Your cam profile is very similar to what I've used two engine builds so far that are both 4 valve and while you'rs has the righteousness of being a 12 they do share a similar note, one that will will turn into a hair raising wail at full tilt... trust me on this one. Given the profile similarity to the quad cam Colombo of yore... yeah it'll sing sweet sweet tunes... so jealous..
