There is progress.
I have all the rods connected, and have to finish with the main crank bearings tomorrow.

Just to give you guys some insight, I'm building this motor over my lunch breaks.

I work on turboprop jet engines. All morning, I rebuild propellers or engines, then on my lunch break, I make the 7 minute drive over to my ex-landlords house (We bought a house, all my garage tools are still at the old apartment, which I'm renting out the garage currently). I assemble what I can, then head back to work.
I've been at this for a few weeks now.
My goal is to have the Tank up and running for the GGP in April. So I need to keep moving.
