RUTAN TA1647545492 Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Its been about a year or so since my car has been running. The motor was finished last week and Mike Phillips had it delivered to my work for me,about 7 hrs later I had in. I started the new motor today for the first time and it sounds great. I had to order a few new sensors,but other than that it should be on the road tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUTAN TA1647545492 Posted October 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 It has been a long time, but its my fault for not having the money to finish my 408 turbo motor I started.
