First Start
I'm in the middle of swapping engines in my car, out has gone the Pinto and in it's place I've dropped in a nice Triumph Daytona
engine. Well I thought I would post a little video of my first attempt to start my new engine, and it worked like a treat. Got a few leaks to sort
out though so that the next job on my list.
First Start Vid
Thanks to everyone that helped me so far, and a special thanks goes to Mango for all his assistance in getting the engine installed. Just got to
finish off a few jobs and she will be ready for the road again.
Cheers
Scott
P.S. This vid is genuine, it really did fire on the first turn of the key.

I sold it to a guy who was racing stock cars. I was selling various bits for the pinto on ebay and someone sent me a message and asked if I had an
engine, he was local so he came along and picked it up.
