Over budget 318 build

I’m trying to at least get the short block buttoned up this winter as the thread is called over budget. Ha. The machining of the block plus the purchase at speed master early this summer has dwindled my savings for the build but there’s always next spring to get back into it. I have been messing around with the piston rings as I don’t want to limit myself. I want to gap for nitrous, whether I ever use it is a different story. So I will have a couple questions to the experts on ring gap and making sure my measurements are correct.

Just like everything else, more time and money involved than originally planned.
