on Fathers Day 2004 my son gave me a 78 Cadillac for the 425/400 mtr/trans combo for Large Marge. Joe,Jr for the past 2 years has always gave me [email protected] about NOT having it running. Well on Christmas this year(2006) I decided it was time to fire that mother up. with smiles on our faces we && open exhaust we hooked up a battery, poured some gas down the carb & on the 1st she fired up &&&& Here's THE VIDEO, enjoy.....joe


MERRY CHRISTMAS SON.............Dad

Oh Yeah!! the thrill of victory.. I'm waiting for this same thrill moment myself, if the motor for my Anglia ever gets back from the machine shop :drool:

The first time you fire up a different engine in your project is the most fulfilling time of the build. Well maybe until that first trip down the driveway and around the block.

That was right KEWL.

That will rekindle the fire and give you a fresh burst of interest to get a whole bunch more done on it.

Good for you.......CONGRATS!!!!! :thumbup:

That's got to be one of the best sounds a hot rodder can hear. The heartbeat of a new build. It's been a long time since I fired up a new motor. I hope to hear that sound this summer.

Congrats and awesome luck on your build. She sounded really good!

Makes me want to go home & work on mine to fire it up after sitting for the past 5 years! Fresh gas? Check. Charged battery? Check. Exhaust hooked up? Nah, who needs exhaust when it's just a little firing up session.
What is " LARGE MARGE"?? Looks like an old Suburban type of vehicle.
