Looking very nice Jeremy! It will be done before you know it now that the valvetrain is all buttoned up. Did you ever locate some jet nuts for the intake plenums in lieu of the barrel nuts?
Just make sure you make people put on their sunglasses when you pop the decklid, those plenums and the fan will burn their retinas otherwise.
Flame ring, eh? My guess is turbocharging is somewhere down the road?
