Re: 427 LT5 Build 2 underway
I was able to make it over to Todd's place and he fired up the new engine.
Todd had fitted some mufflers to the SW headers he was using, which was sort of disappointing for me, because I really wanted to see the reaction in the 'hood when he started his creation!! It started on first touch and was quite smooth, settling into a crusty, lopey idle, and like any LT5 you could almost hear every moving piece in concert. Todd ran the new engine about two minutes and shut down to eyeball. I have some cell phone video, and when I can, I'll get it to Todd for his blog. Thanks Todd. |
