first start ups are always worth looking forward to, mine started for the first time the other day, never run the engine before and didn't know if it was going to work at all, but its running pretty good now 
hope it all goes smoothly and HAVE FUN!

Always more tuning to do
Let me know...
How that clutch works for you. I have a 4 puck in mine, but it has a sprung hub like the stock clutch. I was "told" that the solid hub clutches are either in or out, there is very little slippage with them.
I got mine from Clutchnet.com
Everything looks GREAT! I'm excited for you. I think we all wait with great anticipation on hearing it run and seeing it driven. Good luck and keep us posted.

Say no to rice
Thanks a lot guys
Lachy - man epic amounts of envy here, a hoist would be so cool! But hey, we've upgraded to a pit and thats a damn site better than lying on your back on the cold concrete! But then again I drove past some bogans doing an engine change on a Commo in the mud in their front yard in the rain the other day, so it could be a lot worse. They had Woodstock keeping them warm, though. All things going well it should be at the nats... I'm kinda keen to see this Nissan of yours too.
Brian - the hook on the end of the chain is attached to a bolt going through the hole where the dogbone engine mount bolts to the chassis. It seems to work pretty well.
Harold - Don't worry that's only a temporary dogbone mount just so I could get the engine in Dad stole my old one for his car, and I was a little horrified at the price of new ones so I just used an old one I found up the back of the shed for the time being. Before the car runs I'll either suck it up and buy a new one, or try and make my own. A mate told me about this resin type stuff you can buy. Apparently you hack out the old rubber and then cast a new mount in the same casing. Would mean I could go for stiffer engine mounts, too.

Not sure if i will bring it to the nats it should be running by then but if all goes well ill bring a turbo prototipo instead. If the prototipo doesn't come together in time i guess ill just have to bring the nissan lol such a shame when the back up car is capable of running in the top 5 or better once its sorted.
