Default Thermostat install q's?

I am going to be installed a mod'd stock thermo with a .177 BB today and need a few tips...

Is there some quick way to fill my cooling system? I was thinking on using a funnel to fill the radiator up then burping out the system...

Anything else to look out for or tips?!

Thanks

well ok here goes.first off i did that and it worked good until i got stuck in traffic for over an hour one time.it began to run hot.i put my 180 therm back in and no more problems. but hey to each his own.i have found it best to remove the hose for the tb bypass.hold it up a little and begin filling the cooling system.it will begin to come out the fitting. hook the hose back up and resume filling.start the truck up and let idle for a few moments and then replace the cap.run it until temp.turn off and remove the cap.it should be bleed by then.make sure you use distilled water or i used the premixed.
