I'm getting really close to firing off my new engine. when I pulled the turbo 350 tranny out of the donor I drained all of the trans fluid I could get out of it. When I put the torque converter on the new engine I put about a quart of new fluid in it, my question is how much should I add to the tranny so I can break in the cam without hurting anything. I know I can get the level right after everything is warm, I just don't want to hurt anything on the initial startup. Thanks, Steve
