So I got my engine built and running after a really long time of being down and the driver side head was leaking coolant. SO, I tore it all down and cleaned it up and reassembled it and this is how I will be testing it this time.

just skip to like the 00:20 for the start up.
Enjoy!

Its such a discouraging moment whenever you first fire it up after all the time and money that went into it and you see a small puddle of coolant forming and it is nowhere near the radiator so you instantly know its not a hose haha. But you live and learn, luckily I was able to hook everything up and start it up like this. Also, this is a turbo build so there is A LOT of stuff that is not in the video that had to be removed. Such a pain...

When you upload it to YouTube there is a box to check to make mobile friendly, or worded something like that. You can login and go back to the video and edit to change that box.

Thanks! Its a 383, eagle forged rotating assembly, the cam is a custom ground cam since it will be forced induction. Splayed 4 bolt mains. I went with the 5.7" rods. The top end is the limiting factor right now since I don't have money for good heads yet. This was the trial run since I had a headgasket leak the first go round and had to pull it all back apart as soon as it was together. Now whenever I get time i'll put it all back together AGAIN and I'll get some more videos to post. I'm sure I'm leaving out some huge details but that's the jist of it
