Are you building the engine yourself? Congratulations on the new baby.

Thank you! I'll be interesting as one two year old is hard enough sometimes...
Yes, we are building both the engine and rear end ourselves. This will be my first time setting gears so I've been doing a ton of research and talking to pro's. The last of the parts got delivered the other day so I'm hoping to start in on it this weekend. Worse comes to worse, we have a good shop nearby if I throw in the towel. After buying quality gauges, torque wrenches, and various one time use (hopefully) tools, you'd be ahead by having someone else do it but we were looking for a good challenge.
I'm on the list at Connecticut Custom but I should give Metal Morphous a ring as well. Their work on making a narrow hip 427 is very cool!
