Make sure you have all the air out of the cooling system and a fan mounted to aid in air flow across the radiator. It's a good idea to also have another oil filter, once the engine is fired all the excess assembly lube migrate to the filter. Of course a timing light and a infrared thermometer on hand. The thermometer can be used to insure that all cylinders are firing evenly and the temperature is balanced across the heads.

Of course we expect a video from you. yahoo

PS: Where did you get that stand, I love it...
