Thank you for the kind words gents smile
Few things that came up:

1st: The long block was pre-lubed by machine shop, i did not prime it when i was putting it all together. Do i just crank the starter without spark plugs and main fuse removed to build up some oil pressure? open to recommendations.
Also, i heard the best way to break-in new rings is to drive it hard off the line. This option may not be the best for me because my suspension must be aligned first. At least first 20 miles will be eaten away by a trip to an alignment shop.

2nd: i wanted to get AC working again so i got used AC compressor off the 97 GST from local junkie. It appears Mitsubishi changed AC systems in 2Gb. The compressor does bolt up to the 2Ga bracket but lines don't bolt up. I ordered 2gb lines from ebay so hopefully that will do the trick. Here is the comparison of two compressors:
