You clearly have a good chunk of change in that, which is why im curious why you went with eagle crank and rods? Eagle seems to be pretty hit and miss...are you adding a power adder later?

Looks great! I'm debating painting my water pump gloss black like that for my new motor. I'm going to paing the accessory brackets back to shiny aluminum and the block an orange enamel and that black water pump would be a nice contrast.
