Default Assembling rods to pistons

I have a 96 408w i am building, and i am having trouble finding out how to orientate the connecting rods and pistons. I have Eagle i beam rods and SRP pistons that have valve reliefs. The rod bearing saddles have a champfer on one side and they have numbers "12405" on one side and "s7" (cap) and "02" (rod)
I hope the question makes sense, any help or links to detailed assembly would be very appreciated!
Thank you

The chamfers go away from each other and the vlv reliefs go on top. If you put a rod on backwards with the one side chamfer you will know it once you torque them the crank will not spin over!
