Finally think I have most of my parts for the new engine. Head arrived over the weekend and look very nice. I mocked the engine in place and am very happy with the placement of the engine and the header fitment. Everything is tucked up nicely. Even with 1/2 height body mounts I have ~1/2" between the collector and the floor pan. The pics aren't that good because it was loosely mocked up. Once I have it all together I'll take better pics.

I started filing the rings today for engine assembly, hopefully by the end of the week I'll have it complete.

I think the only real fab work I need to do is to build the alternator mount. I have a plan using some 1/4 plate with some 5/8x.120 DOM. Hopefully it works. I also decided an accusump was necessary so I need to figure out where to mount that beast too.
