Nice. Those are the same rods/pistons I used on my old motor.
Make sure to build on the tight side with those pistons. With the short side skirts, mid to loose tolerances will cause piston slap until it warms up.

Absolutely, made sure I spoke to my machinist about that!

Pain in the ass I tell ya, now I remember why I do not like wiring or electrical.
Any way should have the motor in the last week of April or first weekend in May. I still have to finish porting and polishing the head and flow it as well.
I have to get some pics up of the motor,
