Sorry this thread went MIA from my searches for a little. Make sure you do the clearencing on the block for the rods (mostly the #3 cylinder but could be others. I disagree with going to as large a bore as possible. Infact I would suggest just the opposite. If it were my motor I was building for you, I would go with a light steel rod (such as a SCAT or Howard) and a decent compression ratio (8.5 - 9.5:1) and use ACL tri metal bearings. I'd also recommend a main bearing cap alignment dowel kit (or MB CAD kit as they're called). As for helpful tips to putting it together, take your time, clean everything, and use assembly lube generously through out. Keep us updated man...
