The engine is in and it runs!

Last Saturday (one week ago), Dave and Adam and Nick and I put in the new engine that Dave and I built over this last winter. The trials of tribulations of this engine project are all documented in pictures. Details about all that was done can be found at my car page.

The really important take-home is that the engine is in and WORKS! And it feels awesome. I drove around 400 miles today, working my way through a proper break-in of the engine before it competes a week from tomorrow. Only a few minor glitches so far and the engine's been running great and feels much more powerful even under 4k RPM. It'll be great to feel it go to redline later this week when I'm confident it's been broken in well.

Phew!
