I assume it's an Automatic?
Get the motor up to 120-130 on jack stands. In gear , hold the brake , put it on the Convertor to load the motor maybe 5 6 seconds. 180- 190 temps cool it repete. Or take to the track and make 2 WOT hits.
Again, suggest that you use Maxima break in Oil.
Where is the timing set at? Locked out distributor advance? I would be very conservative with it. BB 402 Stocker start with 32 33 degrees go from there.
