After Hello; Lools like a good job but I would suggest is getting your sandpaper out and do the insides also. I mean the channels to the engine. In my case I bought a used one and found alot of raised area in there that has to help how it runs. It's not on yet as I want to get it coated with something and it won't be powder.
Good luck.
X2Couple things I see here. Correct me if I am wrong. No mention of checking bearing clearences. Toss the felpro oil pan gasket and use a cork or cometic. As what about that oil pump? Also head studs instead of bolts. Is that a used flat tappit cam? Lifters all in the same spot? Not being picky ,just trying to help.

The felpro gasket is very thin i compared it to a quork gasket and its the same pick up to pan clearance is good i checked with playdow . I already put a nice magnet on the bottom of the pan! And yes earl your tricks are done and very easy to do by the way!I'd pop that pan back off and get a Melling pickup that doesn't have a trap door. I didn't see a mention of checking pickup to pan clearance. With that thick ass Felpro rubber gasket (that my have already split) you might not be sucking off the bottom.
Home Depot has some rare earth magnets by the bolt drawers. Never hurts to stick a few of them here and there.
Did you take you cover apart and do my oil mods?
Bearing clearance was checked and was in spec oil pump was perfec and i did earl browns tricks to it i reused my arp head bolts because it was a brand new build that craped out cause of driveshaft that was to long and pushed on my crank the cam was flat tappet and was running just fine when i got it so i pur everything back where it was before!

Clearence is .003 all around and somebody told me that if the driveshaft was to long it would push on the crank is that right or not and if its not the case what made my crank screw up like that!Too long a driveshaft should brake the trans not the engine. And what where you bearings clearences? Studs are better than bolts and cheap insurance. And cork gasket is a lot easier to keep leak free vs the felpro.
