New 408 build finally started

Cleared a spot in the front of my shop and started gathering head studs, main studs, (pistons, rods, and crank) were already out here, I located a set of full groove main bearings on my shelf, and what ready made my day I located a set of Clevite CB-663 HXN Chevy sized rod bearings that have the extra clearance. I knew I had a new Cloyes Billet timing chain because I got jammed up on my last build and ordered one from another vendor because of backorder. I hope to check clearances ASAP and install the 4 corner pistons to check deck height then I can send the assembly out to get balanced. While it’s out I can detail the block and tube the oil galleys. Finally some forward progress.
