Did i break it
 
I am currently putting in my motor in my build. got it wired up and was filling to power steering pump when i noticed my electric fans were not working. i do not have a temp gauge hooked up yet. how do i know if i screwed up my motor by running it to hot. 350 cast iron black and heads radiator was full and no coolant boiled out with a 15 psi cap.l

How long did you run it? Also, does she misfire, or run "funky"? Longhorn

On and off over 20 minutes. Nothing funky as far as firing. It was idling while I filled the power steering

Is it a fresh new never run motor or does it have a few miles on it.
If it didn't puke out of the rad it'll be fine.

If it ran on an off for 20 minutes, are you sure it even got the coolant temp hot enough to turn the fans on? I doubt you've done any damage at this point.
