Most of you know this, but just a reminder for those of you inclined to work on your cars. SAFETY FIRST.
Here is a recent video of Shawn who is (was?) transplanting a SBC (Small Block Chev) into a Miata. In his excitement of trying to get the motor to start, he made every possible wrong decision to make and...well, you see the result. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=2RBRCaVjYrM#! - Chevy 350 bursts into flames -------------  Beken (aka Ken) - bekentech@westcoastfieros.com Original and still the owner of an 85SE 2M6 4spd |

I love how he is still trying to start it even when it's on fire.

Heh heh, that's right Gary... you have a "history" regarding fire as well. Ironically, it was Tristan (alias Romeo) who reported this in http://www.westcoastfieros.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2542&KW - my suspension thread ...
