We have fuel pressure...

at 58 PSI,
and 70 PSI of oil pressure...
and ignition...
and it runs!  Hooray.
This short video shows the LS7 engine's front crankshaft pulley as it would be viewed thru the passenger seat, if there was a seat installed.  The water pump/alternator belt was removed because there was no water in the engine and I did not want to take a chance of damaging the water pump by running the engine with no water to lubricate the pump. We ran the engine for only a few seconds because there was no coolant in the system.

Note how quiet the engine was. This was taken inside my closed garage. I am now confident that I'll have no problems with the sound police.

The next projects are to finish the cooling system and begin the task of shortening the wiring harness.

Family time tomorrow. Will work again Wednesday.   :)  :)
