Great stuff, it brings back memories of my first start. I had flames out the exhaust ports during my first start that nearly melted the wiring the loom! Its all down hill from now on.

Congrats! The smoothness of the I6 is amazing.

I liked the youtube version better, especially with the automated captions :-). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Z-JdMBFXdI

Awesome job. Defiantly a milestone of any build. Sounds like a proper beast. Should be fast as sin considering it used to pull a 1500kg car and now its going to be 500-600kgs. Thats some weight saving.
