She's in and running!
After many years of stalled progress and waiting, I finally got my GTO running again. There are still some leaks to contend with and tuning to do, but this is a huge step forward.

Very Cool...Congrats. It sounds great. I know the feeling - my Buick Wildcat sat for several years waiting on me to get a new engine put together. You get driving them and then you remember how much you "Love This Car".

Look'n and sound'n good in the neighborhood!!! A lot better than that picture of the car with the hood off and no engine, sitting in the driveway!!!
How long has it been (since the flooring was finished...LOL)? Your Dad would be thrilled!!!

Thanks! Yeah, that damn flooring! It’s been in since Jan 2015! I do like it much better with the engine in there, for sure. I hope my Dad would be proud. I definitely tried to take things to the next level and get closer to factory correct as possible/practical. It was amazing at how ‘not correct’ things were in the engine bay. Still more work to do but this is a heck of a milestone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m bummed that for some reason I’m not seeing the video to hear it, but it is looking good and with A/C no less! That’ll come in handy during bumper to bumper cruise nights and heat of the day poker runs! Congratulations!

Sounds and looks great, Mike! Well done.
You might be experiencing the same issue that I do, where when using a mobile device, the application does not show the YouTube link in the original post. If you view the post using a standard laptop/desktop computer, you will see the YouTube link to click on and view the video.
