My engine IS finally coming together!

That psi may be resonably representative of what you'll see when the motor fires. I hope you have one of the big moly FRPP pump shafts because at that level there is a chance of twisting the stock shaft. When the motor is warm, it may fall to 60 or less. After break in, you might switch to 5w-30. Also prime the fuel bowls - do NOT crank the engine extensively. It needs to fire ASAP to keep from scraping startup lube off the cam.
