gonna have to use some high-speed video to actually be able to see it  plus, it'd be real interesting to watch it spank something that would normally be outta our league—as far as racing goes, that is. something like a cobra, supra, etc. |

i abhor GM but this is still an inspiring project. i was hoping that when you got to this point on the forum that i would be able to see the project complete. Alas, I must wait in anticipation like the rest of us. when you are finished i NEED a video to show to my manager at work (he refers to any import or less than 300 ci or 2700cc engine as a tuner car. theres always a tinge of *sympathy* in his voice when he says it. I guess he's never gone against a properly tuned 4G63).

Just a quick update to mark the point at which I got the engine running. Last night my friend and I sorted through the maze of wires, fuses, and relays and found the ones we need for the starter and HEI. The motor cracked off and ran, but drained the oil on the floor in about 10 seconds. After locating the oil plug that I missed during accembly we fired it up again and ran it at 2000 RPMs to break in the cam only to see the headers start to glow. Shut it down and realized that I never tightened the carberator down, so the motor was running extremely rich. Fixed that oversight and it is now running good.
Today I idled it out of the garage and back in (no gas peddle, it melted in the fire) and all seems well for motion. I'll need to hit the junk yard on Monday for a new dash and gas peddle. I'll make short video of the motor running with open headers tomorrow and post it, I just rememered my digital camera can make videos.

Can you point one out that wasn't? Glad to hear the sleeper is coming to full life. Can't wait for the video. Hopefully you don't miss anything else.  |

Here is that video I promised. It is really crapy, but it's all I can muster from my digital camera. I'll make some better ones with my video camera after I get the thing on the road. Let me know how it is because I don't have QuickTime installed so I've only viewed it on my camera. I'll take a look at it when I get to work tomorrow. The sound was terrible on the camera and I doubt it gets any better on the computer  http://overlandconcepts.com/v8_avenger_engine_running.mov (10.6MB) BTW, I got the replacement dash and gas peddle today. I plan on having it all back in this weekend. |

I let it load for about fifteen minutes. Then I closed it out. I did this twice. No good.
