L98 Swap Finished

So, the L98 Swap is finally done and the car finally runs... So my question here is the L98 Block was brand new, what steps should I go through to properly break in the new motor? So far, I have driven it a very easy 50 miles... What should I do next?

Thanks in advance for any advise,

-Tim-

There's a thread on the FAQ forum with the GM-recommended break-in procedure for crate engines. If your L98 is a true L98 with roller lifters, you can skip that part. If you have 50 miles on it already, you've already gone past the cam break-in part, anyway.

Thanks, the L98 sure is a lot more drivable than the LO3. I love it
