Weird...I don't have that issue. o_O

 

It's so exciting to hear it run the first time...loud, but exciting!  You're going to love driving it!

 

It was only on the initial start, Had me baffled why it wouldn't fire. So I stabbed the throttle and bingo fired right up.

Congratulations 🎊 on bringing it to life !

 

can’t wait for a ride :)

Got the clutch dialed in. Not totally happy with the way I got it to work. Had to extend the Jeep slave cylinder rod by 2". Will probably pull the trans at some point and change the thrust bearing and bearing arm. Dealt with a bunch of leaks, mainly because I am not very good at tightening connections!! Learned that Wilwood's are a pig to bleed. 

Getting the exhaust done next week.

Got a leaking heater core (brand new) more Chinese junk. Luckily I was going to pull the dash anyway to wrap the wiring harness. Still annoyjng.

Been following this build for a long time and am super impressed at how it's been going.  Going to need more videos of that engine and some crazy burnouts.

Exhaust, finish the interior, test AC,  probably will need to play with the clutch release bearing some more. That is about it!! or and find a NOS passenger tail light!!

You trailered it and didn't take the opportunity to rip it around the neighborhood with open headers?  :-)

[Limeyjeeper]

Yea unfortunately LS engines don't like not having O2 sensors installed. 

[SoCalManche]

Damn this build is sick. Definitely motivating me to get back at it with mine. Are you throwing a roof top tent on that bed platform?

[Limeyjeeper]

No I am too old and cranky to slum it like that lol

[Phillip Gwin]

Very nice. Where you going to wheel that? I know there's no place around here with trails wide enough to keep from scratching it up. I am guessing you are still in Frisco.
