Ok guys, Im finishing up my v6 to v8 swap, its a brand new forged 347, new heads, new cam, everything.

Here is what WASNT hooked up;
low oil level sensor
iac
tps
ac line

jumper wire to make all 8 cylinders fire instead of 4.

I pulled the fuel pump fuse, and just wanted to see if they motor would attempt to crank, and try and build a little pil pressure. Car tried to crank everytime, but oil pressure never moved off of 0. Would any of the following cause this, or will i see ANY oil pressure doing this?

 

I would just hook everything up and kick it over. My car built pressure right when I started kicking it over.

 

I will try that, I was just an IAC sensor short, but i wanted to see if it would all turn over, it does, oil pressure just chills at 0. kinda scarying me

 

How long are you turning the moter over for?

 

at first about 2 seconds a pop, then i progressed to about 4-5 seconds a pop.

 

Try 10 seconds. unpluged. It should build

 

sometimes its a SOB getting oil pressure, esp if you didnt pack the pump with grease or thick oil-i had to overfill mine, jack up the rear to try and let oil run into the pump, finally got pressure

 

so just to start the motor it would be acceptable to put extra oil in the car?
i put conventional castrol 5w-30 in it.
I will try for 10 seconds also.

 

It probably took 5-8 seconds before I started to see the pressure build up.
