She runs, for more than 20 seconds :-)
Radiator is in, wiring is tidied up under the hood, interior will get some cleaning tommorrow and gas tank should get installed. I'm hoping to see the road by Monday. Kick ass stuff, this means nothing to you all, but i'm totally psyched to finally get to drive my FD. I've NEVER driven it. Steering while 2 peeps push it on the trailer doesn't count.
Hood is actually on the car without hitting the motor. AKA everything under the hood is DONE. Thats so nice to say. Once the gas tank is in, exhaust gets fabbed up then I'm going to the interior. I have an almost complete Black Interior taking up closet space in my house.
I'd say i'm almost ready for that dyno day in LR. Also planning on hitting that drift day if this thing will turn over the tires. *cough cough*

funny one you are... turn over the tire sheesh. *evil grin* So the gas tank is in. First time this beauty/beast has seen the road in over 2 years. darn....what a beast. First gear is a puff of smoke. Second gear is a puff of smoke. Third gear I was afraid of on the first day out. Watch out, a ls1/fd is roaming the streets of Western Arkansas!! Should get insured/tagged/exhuast this week. I'm soooooo freakin speechless right now. What a blast, I only drove the car for a short period of time since I havce no exhuast and radiator fans but darn...it moves. Front tires are all wobbly from dry rot, steering is horrible from bad alignment, no exhuast so the motor sounds like trash....everything was just perfect! at least for the first day out. ...stay tuned for more Oh yeah...when is that dyno day?!

Congrats on the swap. I know EXACTLY how you feel as just a few weeks ago I was in your shoes with my car. I was pumped when my car fired up on pretty much the first try. The motor swap wasn't all that bad for me but I just swapped a Turbo motor in an N/A car, you probably had to do more fabrication.
Good luck with it!
