This is the new engine in Scar, fired pretty much for the first time. Once the car would crank, it took about 30sec of fiddling to get it to turn over. At which point it roared to life firing a fireball out of the carb and shooting streaks of orange flame out the open headers.
I still need to hook up the cooling system, the power steering system, and get an exhaust system. But hey, it turned over and ran and nothing broke, so I'm almost there.

And dude, a completely unmuffled chevy 350 small-block V-8 is such a nice sound, even if it completely overloads my phone's speaker."

That was loud. Then again, that was the point, wasn't it? (heh)

I think your car has just had it's baptism by fire.
