New 408 build finally started

Well not a lot of progress but I have my main bearing clearance set where I want it and when I take it back apart I will address the issue of wanting .003 more crankshaft end play. I switched it over from stock main cap bolts to main studs and like usual this block wasn’t line bored. Without a main seal and assembled with 10-30 oil the needed torque to turn it over is well under 20 inch pounds (thats as low as my inch pound wrench goes). This is the block I bought from my buddy (550.00) needing money that was bored .030 over, honed, deck squared, cam bearings, oil pump drive bushing, brass soft plugs, and magnafluxed. Tomorrow hopefully throw four pistons in to check deck height and if all is well Year it back down to have the assembly balanced.
