It feels great. I've been wanting to do this swap for a long time. It wasn't until recently that we had the skills and tools to do it.
I'd be happy to help with engine management questions. What's the issue you guys are having?

SCCA EMod MGB GT V12 Build Kid, just go thru the last two pages of this thread and see what you think thanks
I’m going to go ahead and request your assistance with engine management in a couple years.
In reply to Patrick :
I'll be there for you. It really isn't a very complicated setup. The most complicated part was finding the right crank sensor, which turned out to be less complicated than anticipated.
Great job! Congratulations!

Thanks!
I put it on the street today.

Your self restraint is admirable. I would be making boost noises on anything that even resembles a straight piece of road if I were driving something that sounded like that.
Also seems quite peppy. How’s the tuning process going?
In reply to 1SlowVW :
Tuning is basically done. I might play with the ignition timing on the Dyno. Fuel is right where I want it.
Hey! someone is 'marking'(11's) your territory you better tell them to knock it OFF!......oh wait that's you.....never mind and seat of the pants is spot on?

Yep. That's our burnout spot! Lol
It applies power a little different than I'm used to. It has a ton of mid-range torque. It almost feels like a diesel. It pulls and pulls and pulls. It's really fun to drive.
Man that makes nice noises!

The burn out giggles. Totally acceptable.
Dyno time scheduled yet?
In reply to 759NRNG :
Yep. Next Sunday.
In reply to java230 :
Thanks, man!

I think I was giggling more at the sound. Lol!

Love the waste gate whoosh.......this is not doing me any good when i look at the Bravada I'll have you know.....

Real time ? and can we watch?!?!?!!!!!
In reply to 759NRNG :
I'll be posting video as soon as we are done, assuming everything goes well. I would prefer not to run the data up on my phone. I'm sorry. I'll let you guys see when we're done. I don't expect it to take long. The car is basically tuned. I'll probably play around with the ignition timing, and boost, but should be done by 2pm eastern time.

I'm reminded of a Dan Gurney quote:
At no point did we exceed 175mph
congrats on getting it to the street!
In reply to sleepyhead :
That is an accurate statement.
Thanks man!
Well, I'm a little later than I said I would be, but it happened!
430 whp 420 lb-ft of torque. Need to fix a few things before we push any further.
