A few things to know that i found, when i first started my 5.3:
1.) At first i had 0 oil pressure. I learned that you must "pre-prime" the oil pump. There are a few ways to do this, i bought a drill operated pump, adapter that mounts to the front of the motor and one that mounts just behind the oil filter - this one is for reading the oil pressure.
2.) Due to my cam and such, i could not get any vacuum to run my power brakes and had to get a Hydro-Boost system.

Just a few thoughts.....
