How many quarts of tranny fluid will I need to completely fill my
C-4 tranny.....about 12?

If all goes well, I'm going to fire up this new beast on Sunday.
Would it be ok to start the engine before I fill the tranny up or will that hurt the transmission?
I know I won't be able to drive it anywhere like that but would it hurt just to start the engine?
I haven't bought the case of tranny fluid yet...that's why I'm asking.
