FIXED!!
The engine is back in the car.. fired up and NO LEAKS.. thank God.. that was getting old.
Cooling system is hooked up, just need wire in the new fans. One small brake like leak to fix, then bleed them all out, do a bolt check toss on the rollers and she's off the lift.
Everything seems to be working great. Poor car needs a tune bad since everything is different, but it fires right up and somewhat idles.
Sorta sad that in 4 mts I will be pulling this engine in favor or her final mill, theCOMP/Mast Motorsports 460 that will be centered on the RHS race block. Oh well, we're pretty good at it now.
I've decided that I'm going to put this 454 into Track Rat, should make burn outs a breeze. So if anyone needs a good deal on 500hp all-aluminum 5.3L let me know. lol
