No issue with startup. Have a fire extinguisher handy and a plan to get your car outside if necessary.

This is all the advise and pointers the forum could come up with? After the amount of time, effort and money I put into this, I am hoping not to screw anything up by not doing a pre-start up check of some sort. PLEASE ADVISE!!!

Ok, what about following Jake Raby recommendations..?

He cranks the engine right before starts running and shuts it off immediately, this is to allow the engine to build oil pressure, and repeats this procedure a few times until the internal components are properly lubed, then starts the engine and lets it warm properly,
it makes a lot of sense.
