Prime the engine

Hey Bro, You could prime the engine first to make sure the lifters are all pumped up and oil is in all passages. there are alot of oil cavities inside the block. Also the factory oil coolers as well.

Is it a full roller motor? Stock shaft mount rockers?

Yes you need to prime it, dont forget to re-setup the cam sensor.

Smallblock chevy priming tool fits perfect, attach drill and prime till oils coming out of both rocker banks and then some. Pack oil pump with vaseline or pour oil into pump prior to priming. As the oil starts moving you will feel resistance on the drill.
