A New Engine is Born

This weekend we got the 350 fired up on the test stand. This motor is destined for the RX7. After breaking the cam in we idled it down and took this video on an IPhone. The 350 is a fresh 30 over rebuild with 1.94 intake, 1.5 exhaust, a lumpy hydraulic cam, dual plane intake and 600 cfm Holley carb. Engine runs real nice, holds about 70 psi of oil pressure and didn't leak a drop of any fluids. We did set the headers on fire at one point as the heat shield wrapping got some ATF on it, but that's what fire extinguishers are for!
