'70 Dart 392 Project; what direction?

Got lifters ordered from MMX as well as the MDS plugs and 45* oil filter mount adapter. got the rotating assembly put together last night. FYI check your ring gaps! Ordered factory replacement rings and they were ALL a .000-.005” gap. Even the oil scraper rings were set at a zero gap. Mahle rings were supposed to be factory replacement. Took some time to get them all gapped correctly but install when pretty good. Crank endplay was right at .006” so good to go there.

Hoping to finish off cam and timing chain install this evening.
