Intro to this video: The Video Link is at the end, the following is about the Engine.

It was done this summer before, during and after the "TGE" (The Great Exodus). If there is a "Dark" side and a "Light" side , I started seeing the light of the dark side on October 3rd 2008 with an inside whisper when I wrote that I noticed some changes were a happening. I post this to my new home for members that may have missed it over there.
The video was done for VMF as an attempt to get more members involved with video.I looked and did not find an "Audio" or "Video" room here...Yet... :) I think we were made for pictures and video, otherwise "Playboy" would never have employed photographers. the video captures the 2nd start of the engine. The actual first start fried my starter because I wired the ignition per Ford diagram (two wires were wrong don't have a clue why mine needed switching) The engine is a crate "True Turn Key" from TheEngineFactory.com 350HP

Right or wrong I can tell you the Engine sat in that box for almost 2 years. An engine that was built by people better than I. This Engine was broke in at the factory for almost an hour using the standard break in procedure they use, video taped and sent to me when done. The Engine was payed for in payments over a two year period. This enabled me to afford to lock in a price that I knew would rise. 7200.00 or so is what I paid. This price included the Billet Serpentine

I know an Engine like this can be done cheaper at home. I do not have the correct tools , Knowledge and specs to have done this properly and correctly. What I do know is that when it came time to put her in and start her, she would be correct and work for sure. That is what I paid for and it paid off. In the Video you will here high RPM's of the auto choke (not connected electrically yet) , this assured that lubrication started as quickly as possible.
