Albeit a week after our target startup date of Thanksgiving, we finally got her fired up. As Rob said, the ZooK5.3L took her first big breath this afternoon. Pretty uneventful really, but I cheated and already had flashed in a 6.0L Bin file and already had it run for a second or two (literally a rotation or two) before this video was shot. Up until this video, we really didn’t know how well it would start, build oil pressure or anything. We did have some challenges getting the alternator to charge and the dash lights to work but Rob got all that sorted out.
Still got some little stuff to do before it goes to the exhaust shop. Once it comes back from the exhaust shop we can fine tune things after we can hear ourselves think………
Fire in the hole! (Don't know how to imbed videos on this forum). Never understood why posting videos here has to be to G.D. difficult.

Zoomad himself fiddling with something. Never mind the wiring, got a lot of fine routing and clipping yet to do.
Got some wiring clean up to do, fabricate the E-brake brackets and route the cables then haul it to the exhaust shop to quieten the thing down. Once we can hear ourselves thing we can start on the fine tuning.
