V8 MR2 First Start !

[@380MN]

Great work mate, your smile said it all when it kicked over. All the best from Sydney Australia.

[@scantronsgarage]

Yes... that moment I heard the engine turn over I felt and heard success. Thank you for watching and the well wishes.

[@robbiemcelwee9139]

That thing sounds epic, congrats!👍🏼👍🏼

[@scantronsgarage]

It does!! Thank you.... I would image it will sound better after a tune. It smells like it is running super rich

[@governorairsoft4150]

Hell yeah! 🎉🎉🎉 After years of watching the progress I'm happy for you chief.

[@scantronsgarage]

Thank you for sticking with me! It's been a long journey. Now the fun stuff!

[@flyonbyya]

With that cam lope… Sounds like it’s gonna RUN!!! I predict at least 525 to the wheels

[@scantronsgarage]

Oh I just drove it!!! and it felt like it on the butt dyno : )

[@drphatmatt1]

Outstanding!! Super happy for you and cant wait for the completed day

[@scantronsgarage]

Thanks so much!! Me Too! : )

[@chainsawcharl1e677]

This is how the SW20 SHOULD have been made. Awesome job!

[@scantronsgarage]

I agree with you 100%. I've been chasing this dream for what feels like a lifetime.

[@MR_71_BLACKBIRD]

Nice! When you're all finished I'd love to check it out! I'm in orlando

[@scantronsgarage]

We can certainly arrange that. I am in Orlando too!

[@cassidyzacharyasz4281]

Hell yeah, dude! Congratulations.

[@scantronsgarage]

Yessir!!! Thank you!!

[@Vicente.moreno]

Congratulations on finally turning it on! Good luck at the dyno. Cant wait!!!

[@scantronsgarage]

You and me both! I will get some updates out soon! Thank you so much!

[@Vicente.moreno]

Awesome! Are you in FL? I live in Clermont. It would be cool to meet up because I've got a SW20 project I'm planning that's similar to how yours is and would like to get some opinions from you about it if that's cool.

[@scantronsgarage]

@@Vicente.moreno Yes I am in FL. I work in Orlando. Send me a Facebook message and we can talk more about it : )

[@Scootworth]

Amazing build, super excited to see the progress on this

[@scantronsgarage]

Thank you so much!!!

[@lvlavericktheoutsider1090]

Seeing that blue paint with the white primer, I think it would be a good choice of final colors. A white roof going gradiant to blue... (Like some kind of comet paint)

[@scantronsgarage]

That sounds good actually... Like the bllue toyota FJ with the white roof

[@Mldavis1214]

If I ever had the skill I would do that to a S550 and one up Ford with the engine in the back

[@scantronsgarage]

That would be awesome!! Now you got me thinking

[@_Curva_Dan]

This is gonna be epicc!!

[@scantronsgarage]

Thank you! It is certainly coming along. The painting process is still the next big hurdle.

[@ThaHammieJaassee]

Since you have lots of room why not do 180 degree headers and keep each bank separate and make it sound like a V4 👀 if you connect the 2 banks with a y or h pipe it should pile a ford gt40/European v8 sound 👀👀

[@scantronsgarage]

Basically, I took a short cut. This was cheaper and easier for just checking a box. I plan on re making this exhaust in the future. Maybe to fit turbos or like you said make 180 degree headers.

[@FranciscoONeale-ud8di]

Bravo!! 😎❤️😍

[@scantronsgarage]

Thank you Francisco!

[@tylerjayleavitt]

[@scantronsgarage]

Awesome! Thank you! I appreciate you being one of the few who has stuck with me all this time.

[@fericyde]

Congratulations -- I know it's like birthing a child from my own experience and your build looks awesome. Really like how you showed all the interim debugging steps, it's helpful. Good work!

[@scantronsgarage]
