The fuel tank arrived today and I had time tonight to install the fuel pump in the tank and then the tank in the truck. The hoses on the used filler I bought at the wrecking yard were cut and therefore not long enough so I need to pick up new ones tomorrow. Then I need to add all the fluids install the battery and fire it up. Hopefully it will be running tomorrow.

I finished up the truck yesterday and it fired right up. However, it had really bad lifter tap so I shut it down. The first thing that came to mind was that there might be an issue with the remote oil filter so I started unscrewing the oil filter to see if it had oil which it did. It was late by that time so I left it for today. Tonight I pulled the driverside valve cover which requires removing the upper intake so it took a little while to do. I wanted to see if it had any oil in it and it was dry. So I'm assuming that I made a rookie mistake and left the oil galley plug off in the front of the block. I know that I didn't even check it when I assembled the engine so it makes sense that it's not there. I'll be pulling the front of the engine apart over the next few days and hopefully that's what it is.

Did you prime it before you started it?

Ya, prime it. I fired my Vette up after an intake change when it had been sitting for a few months, and I cleaned off all of the lifters, and one of them tapped for a minute or two till it got fully pumped up.

Prime it off the starter, then let it idle for a few mins, should be right.

To your success.

I usually prime and engine right before I start it but that is not possible on this engine so I didn't prime it. I did let it idle for about 30 seconds though before shutting it down. I know it's not right and the oil pressure never came up. I had this same issue with the Cobra when I first put the 302 in it. I should have checked this engine but I didn't think about it. It shouldn't take me long to pull the front apart to check it though.

Nope. It's been too windy out here to work on it. I'm helping Guy pick up his truck today but after we get back I'll start on it again.
