Not sure if that helped, but I’ve seen other guys do a converter and then they magically lose their engine. I have to wonder if that’s related. But I’m probably on borrowed time anyway….
Yeah, I think you're hogging all the stock block luck from the bucket. It feels like it's been years since you built that thing up.

My bottom end was rebuilt when we installed the forged / balanced assembly last year. But since the converter and flexplate are coming off for upgrades anyway, it's probably wise to see what damage I've managed to do in 7k miles.
