This is always a great moment after an engine swap!

This start was just to see if the engine would run... there was no coolant in the engine and I forgot to put the oil filler cap on so had a massive vacuum leak. It did not stall, I shut it down. Subsequent starts with the oil filler cap in place and filled with coolant were much smoother. No fluid leaks so far and the oil pressure is good, but I knew that because the engine was temporarily installed in my S last year.
Next is installing the exhaust system and the suspension then it will be test drive time.
