There ya go - it can run for a minute or two with no oil pressure before you should be concerned.
BUILD THREAD Project long time coming
- Thread starter Streetbu
- Start date
You can put Lubri-plate IN the engine? I've only ever used it on hinges and latches.
I planned on cranking the hell out of it before it starts til I get oil pressure
Absolutely, makes great assembly lube.
Planned on changing the oil after the first 30 minutes of running to help flush everything out.

Picked up my driveshaft today. Was kind of excited for this.
Bought a used driveshaft from a 2004 GMC Envoy XL.
Guess what? It takes the same exact u-joints as not only a G body, but as a F body too. So the T56 yoke fit right on, rear joint was the same, just needed to be shortened to 47.5" for my application. But these would be a great upgrade for any G body and it saves a TON of money versus having one custom made.

That's my point. This didn't seem like a Roadkill special to me. After my experience with my truck, never again.
As someone with zero financial investment in this build, I say let the starter do all the work. You could always pull the plugs to take all the compression load of the bearings if that helps everyone sleep better.
Fuel line is finished. Bought a fitting that uses a compression sleeve of sorts to go on the stainless steel frame mounted lines, and converts to AN. Then a sweep, filter, braided hose, back to a sweep, and onto the fuel rail.
