Just the one pic?? 
Very nice looking engine! I like the color scheme. It's really similar to what I have planned for mine (my Bronco is red with a black interior, though it'd go well).
One suggestion is to lose the Fram oil filter and put on a Motorcraft. As far as I know, Fram don't have the anti-drainback feature in them, which can cause knocking on start up.
Get your trans jack at Harbor Freight? Looks awfully familiar. Just watch your head on those sharp corners. I smacked mine on it while I was underneath trying to get everything in place. Bled for about 20 minutes...

Engine looks great.
As far as oil filters go, I've been using up what I had, Purolator, but am switching to Baldwin B253 (Ferrari and Porsche)
Has over twice the filtering area of the fram
490 sq in vs 198 sq in and the bypass is 20psi instead of 7psi which because of poor construction found to hang open.
Filtration is 18 microns for both.
Both have anti drain back valves but in the fram the poor construction and materials, it doesn't work well.
Can get them for 10 bucks if you search.
The cold startup seems to be a big deal these days wilh filters and oil.
After doing a lot of reading, the higher bypass seems much better for more filtering and I'm switching to Mobil1 0w40 for better cold viscosity. It still has a zddp of around 1000ppm, which should be good enough.

Fram have the anti-drainback feature, but only on select filters.
The problem with Fram is that they have a reputation for stopping up and making your oil pressure a big goose egg.
Nice motor. Sticking with the 1bbl?

Stock or performance goodie on the inside of the engine? Wondering because I am about to pull and rebuild my engine and trans. Also where did you get your rebuild kit and or parts (mine is a 1966 240ci if that makes a difference)?
