It was great to see the engine run. After all of this work, hearing the LS thunder brought new motivation.

I am thinking the best way to do a first time coolant fill on a vehicle with a traditional radiator might be to take off the upper rad hose at the radiator and pour the coolant directly in the end of the hose so that it fills up the block first, then reconnect it and fill up the radiator.
