Tomorrow's the big day! Starting my new engine for the first time Almost ready, I need to put the radiator and fans back in, fill it with oil and coolant, put the filter on, put the X pipe on, sway bar, and get the radiator shrouds and cowling back in place.
Any pointers / things to look for? Brand new 383 LS6, did everything except assemble the shortblock myself. I haven't been this excited and nervous in a long time!
