Our engine is a 416 so there are challenges we ran into - piston hitting crank position wheel and the oil squirters crammed between piston skirt and rods...
Good luck on the build!

Man ... Not sure how I glossed over that part about grinding off the tang on the bearing. Need a bit better attention to detail there. Thanks for following up with that.
I've seen where guys have had piston cooler clearance issues as well as the relucter wheel, good info, it'll be coming apart Hopefully next week.
I believe my oil pump went bad and then I started getting some valvetrain noise, not running very good. It still starts and has oil pressure, but it dropped off and the oil temp climbed, as you can see in the picture ...
