Thanks all for your nice feedback on the engine.
For those interested, a full parts list, photos and a nice video of the engine running can be seen at:

And yes, I confess, it was more than a coincidence that the engine block CSX479 matches up with the car CSX4794 - thanks to some help from Chris at Shelby.
Allan - The last thing I need to hear before I get my 427 in the garage is that I could have had a quicker 289 FIA. I suspect this engine will be way too much for me anyways.
