Hey, man, glad to hear it's coming along.

I think you'll need about 4 qrts to fill the tq converter and another 4 to fill the tranny. Don't start it up without the tranny fluid, you'll mess up the pump and probably burn up some other stuff in there (same reason you don't pull and auto car with the rear wheels on the ground without the motor running).
