With a little help from its big brother (my F-150) I was able to pump the battery up a little and she started right up! Now I burped the coolant system, got some new gas (other stuff was 9-10 months old), gotta change the oil after it cools down and I might take her 'round the block and get a rain bath.

I might have to stay out of the garage for a while though.. got a mild case of the old carbon monoxide poisoning again.. she's not too emissions freindly right now :D

Edit: Vid now up. just a small clip of start up/ idle and small 2000rpm revs.

Hahah yea.. in due time :) I posted a little vid up on the top.. Hey jon I think I need to talk with you about PCV system. I dunno if I'm gonna be happy with these breathers. They seem to smoke a little bit after it gets warm. Not nearly what it did with the old motor but I'd still rather not have any smokin going on.

Hey Brian, get your break in miles done before changing it. Those mod motors smoke a little during the break in process. Plus the ring gap is opened up from stock.

Ok good to hear.. I'll give it a while. I suppose I can always hook it up to the power pipe after that. I think thats where its supposed to go anyway.
 
My little Cobra had a tear in its eye when it heard that video. When you gonna let me drive it??

Seriously,looks good, sounds even better. Hard to believe its been 9 months since its run.

By the way, how is that fool? Doesn't ven call no more!!

I talk to him pretty much every week. He is working long hours trying to keep his bills paid. After some family debacle with his sister, his cell phone was turned off. I don't think he has the money to get a new one yet. PM me if you want his house number.
