The motor jumped into the X.
Brand spankin new oem ford intake gaskets.
Intake and all just jumped on the motor all by themselves.
The radiator is a salvage yard replacement (has a tag on it) so that should be good. But I believe the consensus on transmissions coolers when debris is involved is to just replace it?

6.0 Transmission cooler is the way to go if towing and such (so I'm told).
I replaced mine with a 6.0 cooler. My removed OEM cooler is in excellent condition. If you want it, it's yours

Would have been the perfect time to put your headers on. No idea why you are waiting to do it till after the motor is in

I put oil in it today, then 7 quarts of trans fluid, then looked around for a battery and finally came up with the only spare around out of the parts car but it needs a charge. I don't think it will have enough umph even at full charge though since it is only rated at 550 cranking amps warm. lol
