As promised....
Would have had the heads assembled but I was out of the valve spring locators I needed....  The heads are primered and painted and I'm waiting for the warehouse to send me the parts I need so I can assemble them.
Everything has went together pretty much without fuss, with the exception of the oil pump pickup. I used a Canton oil pan with Alan's build and the pickup that is recommended for the pan showed 9/16" of pickup clearance when I mocked it up and measured. Luckily, I had a Moroso pickup on the shelf that showed a more desirable 5/16" when I tried it. So, it has a Canton pan with a Moroso pickup.  I also had to dimple the oil pan around the rear rail so that it would sit on the block without contacting the rear main cap bolts.
