Im just glad I took the time to do it right, and it turned out as good as it did... It was pretty easy too....
Thanks again for all the compliments though... It gives me alot of confidence and makes me feel really good about what I accomplished

Thanks Ender.
Update is UPS will be a day late with my head studs (so I will have them tomorrow) so it looks like tomorrow night will be the night instead of tonight...
I started organizing some things to day and cleaning up the engine bay to get it ready for the shiny new motor, and I also re wired some of the stuff in the engine bay, mainly the MSD which I relocated to inside the car... The vacuum manifold has been installed and everything is pretty much ready to go... Just gotta drop the motor in, get everything plugged up, and she should be ready to go... Later tonight I am going to just retorque everything in the bottom end to make sure no bolts stretched or anything and be sure I didnt forget anything, then I just gotta put on the water pipe, flywheel, clutch, transmission, head, timing belt, and then its pretty much ready to go in....

UPDATE: UPS man came today to bring the rest of my goodies, so final assembly will be underway shortly... Just have to run to pepboys to grab a few last minute items... Plan is to double check all the torque on everything, finish assembling the motor (put on the head and transmission), drop it in tonight, and have it running sometime before midnight 
I will keep everyone posted as we progress, and there will be pics to follow
