Happy days indeed. That was a pretty quick and painless start up and sounds really quiet. Better that the oil switch failed now.

It was all very uneventful really. Lol. Definitely a good thing the oil switch leaked now and not out on the road. Think maybe it got knocked when installing the engine and box. 👍👍

Well done, it is always a tense moment on first firing up of a rebuilt engine. A big step forward well done.

Nice to hear it running. It's the electric oil pressure transmitter that's leaking.

New switch on order to sort the leak but was great that it fired straight up, more or less. 👍👍

Well done Stu. Starting up is a milestone in any build. You should have popped a cork 🍾 Pity about the leak, but as we all know that that comes with the territory. Top man 👏👏 Good luck going forward. 👍 From S.A

So pleased for you! You’ve done a really great job getting that lump to run so well first time up!! But whatsmore, thank goodness the clutch appears good, just hope it has no nasty surprises. The engine will be wonderful when fully tuned. Guess its the start of its beautification next! What a car this is going to be!

Congrats Stuart, very well done achieving this milestone! I have enjoyed every episode of your restoration so much that I’ve just started the restoration of my 1971 V8 automatic. Best, Sean

Thankyou Sean. It is a great milestone to reach and I'm glad your enjoying my work and hope there's something of use to you for your restoration. Good luck with yours. 👍

Congratulations Stu, that heart stopping moment when you're thinking will it, won't it. What a great success and if the small oil leak from a failed switch is all you have it's easy to resolve although an unwanted further expense. Fantastic milestone as you say, can't wait to hear it in the raw.

Cheers Dad. Was definitely a great relief to get it run up without any major issues. Will change the oil switch and check for leaks but then probably won't run it again until its finished so it can be run in .👍

Congrats on progress so far. The first time I started my engine after changing the hydraulic tappets it sounded like a ton of ball bearings being tipped down a drain. Had me worried until it quieted down..
