Re: Starting up a rebuilt 350 motor for the first time
Same as for a new crate engine. Here's the GM instructions, starting in the middle of page 3.

Re: Starting up a rebuilt 350 motor for the first time
If the engine has a flat tappet cam, it's a good idea to add a can of break-in lube like CompCams #59. Or better yet, 5 quarts of a true break-in oil like Joe Gibbs Driven BR30.
