use some plstigage to check the bearing clearance, its easy to do and cheap insurance for peace of mind. napa sells it, you would likely want the green stuff. take a bearing cap off, lay a bead of the string in there just off the centerline if the crank and full width, then install the cap and torque it, then remove the cap and check how much the string flattened by comparing against the graduations on the wrapper. just don't turn the crank with the string in there or you will skew the results. when done remove the flattened string with a fingernail or whatever and lube the brg, install the cap and torque it for final time. use blue loctite on the rod bolts. thats assuming the clearances are good.

oil pan install sbc, use "the right stuff" instead of the stuff he uses. also not a real proponent of the complete bead from end to end. just the front and rear. if you use the felpro permadry gaskets they are rubber instead of cork so they seal better/longer and don't split if overtorqued and don't rely on the cork absorbing some oil and expanding in order to seal well.
