I would put atleast a 1000 miles on it. Make sure you do not run synthetic oil....

I'd put 3-4k miles on it. I bought a GM crate motor and it **** itself (I didn't even have to help it this time) in 4k miles, and I broke it in properly and everything. The car literally never saw over 4k RPMs the whole time it was in the car.

next time you do something this big, make sure to talk to your wife first.
