I did the same and had no problems. There maybe no difference in the two.

i used engine assembly lube on my tranny.. its all basically the same stuff... just some lubrication until the oil/tranny fluid gets in there

be sure and get your oil changed shortly after running your newly built engine as to remove all that assembly lube from the oil.. probably a week or so should be good
