Well the build has progressed enough to start a build thread.

Started the build in October. I am having a little baby girl in July so I am trying to be boosted by then!!

Thanks for looking! Will keep updated and add a video when I get the car started.

What kind of assembly lube did you use on the bottom end and head? I'm not really seeing any around the rod or main journals nor any under the rod bolts where they meet the cap, that can affect torque/stretch values.

please tell me you didn't use moly lol
