Default how to start the car after a swap

hey i'm finishing my swap this weekend and i am replacing the tranny fluid, antifreeze, oil, and obviously reattatching the clutch slave thingy, so i was wondering if after everything is installed. is there anything i should do to circulate these fluids????


i know with turbo setups you should crank the motor in order to get oil into the turbo, so i'm thinking if there is any kind of similiar principle with a swap

i dont want anything breaking

Just crank the motor over without spark plugs in it for 30 seconds. Throw them back in and fire it up! That way you know oil is flowing in the motor.

i usually crank it till the oil light goes out with the dizzy unplugged. but with the plugs out it will spin more freely. eigher way seems to be cool.
