Change your oil before you do anything. This will tell you a LOT about the condition of things!
I have popped coolant hoses 3 times now (NOTE: Anyone doing a motor swap change ALL coolant hoses...not just vac lines!!) and way overheated and survived. The oil is going to be fried, so be on the look out for spiking oil temps or weird oil pressures: you may have a coked up blockage somewhere. Also, see if there is coolant in the oil. Hope not (and shouldn't be) a terminal headgasket, but it is always a possiblilty!
