So I recently found out that the LS2 motor in the 67 Camaro I bought was built 3 years ago and has never been fired :_paranoid Besides the simple fact of priming the motor and checking for oil pressure is there anything else I should do before firing? Should I be concerned that this thing has not been fired yet?

Prime the oil pump, rotate crank by hand a few times, and let her rip!!

I'd change the oil and squirt some oil in every cylinder. Then rotate it by hand with the plugs out. Then you can turn it over without spark to prime the pump. Pop the plugs in and fire it off.

Ok, thanks guys! :thumbsup: That's what I planned on doing but just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing anything.

We finally got the new motor in late last week :unibrow: We are missing several miscelaneous parts so if Rich does not have them I'm gonna be placing some orders to get the stuff in so we can fire this thing up!

I'm thinking of running a coil relocation kit to show off these carbon valve covers and also replacing the factory coils with the MSD ones, what do you guys think? We are definitely changing out the master cylinder and booster too!!!

Looks right at home!! :thumbsup:
How did you like that coil wire firewall bulkhead? I have one for my car and wondered if it was a good idea or not? Hopefully it is as the hole is drilled! :_paranoid

That was for the big block we took out and yes, it worked well. Guess were gonna have to remove it and plug the hole now for the LS :_paranoid
