Question Break in a New Engine?

Hello, I had to replace my 1997 Ford F-150 4.6 liter engine. Cost me a arm and a leg but I love this truck so it will be worth it. My question is could someone please inform me how to break in the new motor? All help will be most appreciated. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

Run it through the gears and don't drive it at a steady speed.

I like the information at this link.Click here

If you drive it on a regular bases, you will probably be just fine.
