Thanks guys.

Tony, I need to button up some odds and ends like brake lines, subframe connector brackets, etc, and then I can get rolling on getting the subframe painted.

Hey Scott, How long did your motor sit prior to firing it up?

Did you spin the oil pump or is that possible with the LS7?
Just curious because mine is coming from the builder in a couple weeks and i want to make sure of the sequence prior to firing it up.

Thanks,

Rich

It was run late last fall, sometime before Christmas. I filled the dry sump tank and ran the starter a few times for a total of somewhere around 60 seconds to at least prime it some - so it showed oil on the top end when I looked inside the cap on the valve cover. When I fired it up, it had oil pressure instantly. I ran it for about 5 seconds, then shut it off, took it off the jackstands, then rolled it outside and fired it up again, and that's where I took the video that I posted.
