survives much higher temperatures so you can get things loose easier afer it has been heat soaked for a few years

So, couldn't find nickel, but I found aluminum and it's rated up to 1800 iirc. I used that.

The Autometer trans temp simply has a brass tee. I just plumbed it into the rubber line for the B and M transcooler I have.

I'm going to definitely do that. I've got all these gauges, might as well have at least 1 for the transmission.

Alright guys. It's been a long process but I think the time has come to drop the motor in, and probably by the end of day tomorrow have it running.

I just sat out in the garage staring at it for an hour while checking every bolt I could access.

I rented a oil pump primer from autozone. Didn't hook it up to and oil pressure gauge as mine aren't mechanical and I'll just do that when I have all the connections hooked up.

Anyone want to type up a checklist for before startup? If not, that's fine. I know that's a lot to type. All I've really got to do to the motor is throw the flex plate on and torque it down, prime it one more time, and set the cam sensor.

Any advice is welcome! Thanks guys for all the help you have given me.

You'll know it's primed when the drill 'grabs'.

[Steve Wood]

It's a good idea to prime a few seconds, turn the crank a quarter turn, prime another few seconds,  turn another quarter, prime,turn and so on. That gets oil every where

You can also set the Cam sensor on the stand with Caspers tool.

Well there you have it. Just a couple of things to button up and the neighbors should hate me for the 25 minute break in, tomorrow afternoon.

If they want their junk worked on they can be ok with your break in.

[deathraider6996]

Well, got everything ready. All I had to do was hook up the starter remote wire, plug in the battery, do all precautionary checks and start her up. That was until the fucking piece of shut remote stud on the starter decided to break off. Now I have to either replace the starter, or fix it. The starter that Charlie said would be fine as a mini starter was not close to the flex plate by any means so the stocker was in there.

I also need to repair some drywall

Well hell!

[deathraider6996]

Well, Earl to the rescue.

I always thought that any chevy starter would fit...some chevies have a larger diameter flex plate and a few more teeth but I thought they would still interchange.

Get some shims in the off chance you need them.

[Scoobum]

You might be right Steve. I think its an LT1 starter I have in mine.
