Dropped it back in yesterday, got everything buttoned up and fired it up this evening.

Initial signs are positive! It appears the rear main seal made it past initial fire up as the area is dry and I haven't seen any indication of oil yet - knock on wood. Time will tell as it did with the other seals. Oil pressure is great, idle is smooth and there weren't any weird sounds. We'll see what the next oil change brings as far as the new bearings, but hopefully the third time is the charm.
