    Ok, as most of you know I have gotten a new spark to get my Mav done. It has been 7 years in the making and I have done a s#!tload of work to it in the last 2 months. Well I got it fired up today. I am attaching a vid of the first fire on the brand new drive train. If you would like to know more about the car see the post titled "update on the Mav in this section.
    All I have to say about the outcome is a quote from my wife......................... WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Aw the memories of the first time I started my Mav with the new stroker engine with open headers. I just wish I would have taken it out of the garage and gave it a run down the road. I see some fun times coming

    As is said, to a car guy it's the equivalent of a new born baby cry. Good luck with the rest of your build.

    Not a lot of room in the engine compartment or your garage.
