Aluminum Block 427 Install

[Ripped]

I just got back from dropping engine back in. I have a System One remote oil filter with removable filter screen checked and cleaned it before dropping engine in. I didn't see anything that looked like bearing material so I think thats a good sign. There was a thicker viscosity fluid in the pan at the bottom though, silver in color. I'm hoping that is some sort of assembly lube. Any ideas?

I think bearing material would show up as babbit between the filter folds. I don't know what the silver stuff would be, maybe assembly lube, zinc additive, some minor normal break-in stuff.

Sounds okay

Thanks, I was thinking some sort of additive or assembly lube also. Filter folds looked fine.
