Update: I have the engine here. And he put the heads on backwards.. so the water plugs are on the wrong side. Will have to drill them out and put plugs up front. However all seems to be in good order hopefully have it in somewhat soon. Pics will come sometime hehe.

Quick question also, will my stock fuel pump handle this? Hope so lol

Another update-heads fixed putting together now.

What do you mean drill out a water plug? There's no tool where you can simply unscrew it?

You can use a quarter inch drive on it, but it will simply snap it off in the plug. We tried that already twice lol. Whatever they used to put them in there from the factory, was like super lock tight, or something. You might be able to put some heat on them and get them out with a ratchet. We had to put heat on them to get them out useing easy outs. We had the builder use the heat on them though so we did not mess it up.

Got alot of stuff done today, very tired right now lol. Funniest part was when a ramp kicked out while I was under the car. The header install was VERY quick and easy, We had the car about 5 foot in the air and just put them through the bottom.
We have everything from the engine block back bolted up except for exhaust.
some of the frontal engine is done, which can be seen in the photos.

Yup, no exhaust on the car at all besides the headers. It filled the garage with a nice thick fog of smoke, I had to go outside to try and breath. Like I said, really happy with the sound exactly what I was looking for.
