Heck I just used all the Ford stuff and put a slant six in it (about 25 years ago) and still drive it on the street and once in a while 1/4 mile it. Richard

Take the oil filter off,and squirt plenty of oil in both the passages.Then rotate the engine 1/2 turn backwards,and juice it again,this will help prime the oil pump.

Take the valve cover off and pour some oil over the rocker arms. Pull plugs, and crank until you have oil pressure.
