Ok the engine is assembled. I just have the massage the oil pan a little. The only problem that I ran into (if you want to call it a problem) was the deck, the Bulltears come out of the .005 which was unexpected but not really a problem. I'll just .038 quench instead of .043. I hope to do the swap next weekend.
Thanks to everyone for your help with this and answering all noob questions!

.038 is perfect. The little more compression will be offset by the better quench.
BTW, Thanks for getting the 258 rod cores out to me Al

No problem Russ! I hope to build another once I get this in and all the bugs worked out. I have another crank that needs turned and will have another complete 4.0 once I pull mine. I may do a little experimenting with the next one with a longer stroke. We'll see.
