New 408 build finally started

Not many updates lately guys. Between spending time getting my racing receipts gathered up and mileage figures totaled so I can get my taxes done I haven’t hit the shop as much. I also found some skin cancer on my face over by my right sideburn a couple of weeks ago that I have to get operated on tomorrow morning. then hopefully Sunday or Monday when it warms up some I can get this block scrubbed down and start putting it together next week. I used my new long 9/32 drill bit tonight and drilled my main bearing oiling holes through my tubed block. Boy were the factory oiling holes in this block restricted. These holes needed opened up real bad.
Those stepped galleries are a trap, I'd been building SB Mopars for years before I realised they needed dealing with, you can't even feel them when you brush them out either. Hope everything is good on your results, great post , Thank you.
