My first turbo motor is running!

This is the first turbo motor I have ever built. I'm trying to get my '66 corvair back on the road in time for the Turkey Day Run. I've got a ton to do but having the motor together and running is the biggest part.
Here it is.

Interesting sound.

You have to do another video, this time really rev it up.

I know it's your baby and you are afraid to hurt it, but you will work your way up to it.

Ok I've set the timing and taken care of a couple other details.
rev it up
Is sure doesn't sound like the typical Corvair flat six. I'm not sure how well the sound comes over the net but in person it's very throaty, deep. No "turbo whine" though.
