Won't know for a week or two. We justwanted to start it to test electrical mods and fuel pump. Still need to tune carb, get a tune for the ECU (to remap or turn off parameters), and find mufflers that are louder but not so loud that the cops take excessive notice.

I admit it - This is more to thumb my nose at the haters than anything else.

It's almost comical how much room there is in the S197 engine bay when a pushrod engine is installed in there!

Flowmasters 40 series are the bomb with the push rod engines but it requires to be mounted before the axle so it's a bitch on the S197 since the gas tank takes all the room.
I had a customer do that to his GT (he retained the 4.6 3v) but he had to put a fuel cell in the trunk to get the room needed.
It did sound real good, not like a pushrod but still...

Oh, and congrats Simmon.
