I am telling you just drill a 1/8" hole here:
No need to leave it out and bleed things off. If you are concerned if the thermostat will open or not then put it in a pot of water, put it on the stove, insert a thermometer and see what temp it opens up at.

I think your drilling a hole is a great idea and I use it and know lots of people who do that..I am telling you just drill a 1/8" hole here:

What I am saying is during a new start, with no T Stat, I think its an easier way to get the air bled out of an engine while you have alot of other things going on ... Install the T stat after initial run and break in.....
Let in run for a while. Wanted to make sure the fans cooled it adequately.
I see a slight coolant drip out of this front lower intake stud. Is this something I just teighten down, or do I need to do much more work? I dont think I used thread sealer on any of the lower intake studs.

Whatever size your sway bar is.. adjust a crescent wrench over the sway bar then measure the distance inbetween the jaws... Redneck caliper
Just redid that jacket stud/nut with thread sealant. Even torqued in 3 steps for luck. How long to let the thread sealant seal, 24 hours?

Minor leaks on both front and back of EGR coolant hoses. I keep tightening hose clamps. What’s up with that?

Went to the local car show with my oldest and his Magnum. Those Dodge Magnum's are pretty rare. He has the R/T version with the 5.7 hemi. I gotta give him credit for choosing something original.
I noted 2 things with Snow, not sure if they are correlated.
Oh, and more more slight intake coolant leaks. Yay. One on the front sensor fitting driver side and the other on the hose clamp going into the intake from the EGR rear of passenger.

- Idles at around 1200 which feels high.
- I tend to drive super conservatively and shift way early in the band. Ive never had an issue with this before. Gear shifting was different. It felt like the car didnt want to go below like 1.5 or 2 RPM. When I would shift into 5th, the car and especially the shifter would shake, like really bad. If I shifted into 5th much higher in the band everything was OK.
