5m-ge future engine mods?

ok well since I've been very lazy with the updates I'm just going to plaster everything up.
I got my head from the machine shop last weekend and was impressed with the price, it only cost $189.00. They resurfaced it a 0.006 ,cleaned it up, pressure tested it and installed new valve seals. But when I got to unwrapping my head (lol) the clean job was complete shit and still had rust, old gasket material, and carbon in the exhaust ports. So I spent and extra 2 hours cleaning it more instead of bolting it up and I was pissed off about it. Also got them to look at my cams and cam towers and they said they were in great shape. But continuing on I was waiting on parts till this monday so I couldn't really assemble much but now I'm at the home stretch. I had a little trouble timing the engine but I got it right after an hour, painted up my valve covers to (not my color of choice but its all they had) hope you guys like it. I've got everything back on and bolted up except for the oil pressure regulator, vacuum lines, accessory belts, clutch fan and shroud.
with out further ado here's the pic's:
