Episode 1: Cobra with Jaguar V12 engine - first start

Description

I'm building a Cobra replica with a Jaguar V12 engine. I drove the donor car to my house, removed the engine and installed it (about 2 years later) into the Cobra with the TH400 gearbox. The engine is being managed by Megasquirt-2 and dual EDIS-6 distributorless ignition systems. Why can't you see the engine in the video? Well, even though the engine clearly "started", it was only running on 9 of 12 cylinders. On the A-bank, #4 exhaust valve was stuck wide open and somehow this caused #5 and #6 to effectively not work. If all was well the plan was to take you on a tour of the car. but this will now hopefully come in "episode 2" after I've installed re-conditioned heads.
