Came soooo close to firing it up this weekend. I got to a point in the wiring to at least attempt to start it in the truck but a last minute change put a halt to that. I got the starter wired up but with it being a little close to the headers, I opted to go with a remote solenoid on the firewall. I got down to connecting the very las wire (the "S") and over torqued the dang thing and cracked the housing! At that point I just stopped out of frustration. I'll pick up another solenoid & try it again.
