When I did mine, I first went through the main passages with 1/4" bit, just to clean out anything that might have been in there, then hit it with the 9/32. Call me paranoid, but to quote the instructions from McCandless, "...if you break off the bit in there, then you have real problems." Worked for me, and made me feel a lot better about drilling on a perfectly good block!
It may be ugly, but it sure is slow.

Yes take your time and go slow. If you break a bit off you might as well junk the block because you will probably never get it out.

The #1 single most important mod to the SB is to port and polish the #5 cap main oil feed entry passage and I also port, polish, debur and chamfer the internals of the oil pump. I forgot to mention that, mine is drilled and port matched, going to reuse the pump off my 408 as it's already been ported. One more thing is where the oil returns to the block from the filter, it has to make a 90* turn in the block. I blend the back of the 90 to smooth the oil flow

My cap is done, and the block is too. Does anyone have pictures of the pump cleanup? I have an idea of what to do, but some guidance would be helpful.

7500 would be max shift point and may be 7000. 4" eagle forged. I don't have any experience with that crank but I've had 2 engines with the stock iron crank and at 7400 I couldn't keep rod bearings in them until I took the oil supply for the heads completely off of the cam.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
