thanks to uncle Obama and the cash for clunkers used motors are a premium so went this route...

I just replaced with a crate motor; not sure if it has been ran to seat everything guy at auto zone said to run it at 1500 rpm for 20 min. But, ive seen some alternate suggestions on the subject about running it hard and with varied rpm ranges on the street will give a better break in as napposed to sitting in the driveway rev'd up. pretty much everything is new.. water pump, distributor, and timing cover ofcourse all gaskets.. intake, oil filter adapter etc. Seriously dont want to do it again anytime soon :) So any solid suggestions would be great. thanks
