It lives

Currently has no exhaust manifold so sounds a bit strange. Amazed at how quickly it started - had only ever been cranked with out plugs to check for oil pressure.

Will update my engine swap thread when I get a chance.

Thanks to everyone for their help and advice along the way.

Bet that felt good :-)

Mine is still 6-12 months away from that point....i did turn it over by hand today (well the wife did, she has her uses )

Excellent, well done.....

My Duratec conversion will be a couple of months behind yours....hopefully!

Cheers

Thanks everyone.

Surprised me how well it starts - was expecting 5 min of cranking and chugging to get it going.
