    I'm doing a simular setup you can see in Mark's Build in this Member Forum. Just a caution, (only if you don't fill the oil cooler first), the first time the oil thermostat opens up, you'll be down 1+ quarts of oil..... So, check often until all the air is out of the system. I think what I'm going to do the first time is bypass the thermostat with a male/male coupler. Then either remove the spark plugs and crank the eng to build oil presure OR.. remove the distibutor and using the proper 1/4" of 5/16" tool (depending on your set up) counter clockwise rotate the oil pump. Either way will prime the oil system setup, remove all the air, and allow you to get real close to the final proper oil level.
