Hey gang.. Quick question: I'm getting ready to fire up the 440/727 that was placed in my '69 Charger 500 1 to 1.5 years ago. The motor/tranny that was installed came from a completely running/driving '69 New Yorker (IIRC). I've got the motor/ignition in a way I can fire up the motor. I'm going to install the radiator, but don't have tranny lines yet. Right now, there is a rubber line connecting the inlet/outlet on the tranny. Will it hurt the tranny if I fire up the motor for a couple of minutes?, no tranny engagement. It'll be a milestone in the car's project future.
Thanks in advance..

The pump is pumping whenever the crankshaft is turning.
To run it for even a few minutes there should be sufficient fluid in the trans to allow the converter to fill and bring the fluid level near full. Do the running in Neutral, not Park.

If you run it in Neutral with the driveshaft disconnected from the rearend the shaft will turn due to the "windmilling" effect in the transmission. If you could find a way to support the driveshaft and keep it from turning you'd be OK.

The cooler has 30 psi max. from the trans. lube circuit. Gas hose & screw clamps will work fine, see it alot on a permanent basis on drivers.
