Looks very nice! Might want to wipe the orange paint off the flat part of your timing tab before the core support goes back in.

Also remover the paint at the water pump and thermostat neck where the hoses connect. The painted surface makes them smooth then under pressure the hoses can slip off even when clamped.

Got your heater hose hooked up good to the PCV intake on the valve cover?
