Ok:

1.  How the  are you gonna change plugs?!?  LOL

2.  When is the interior gonna be done?  I LOVE this swap, totally killer.  How's the dash height going to be?  Looks like it might be a little higher than the 'bird dash at the top of that arc...?

3.  Next time I'm in Texas, can I drive it?!?  Ok, I'll settle for sitting in it!  I really wanna get a feel for that dash...  :D

Actually it would be easier to change plugs on that than a 5.0.  The plugs go in through the center of the cam covers.

ok, so the dash height question still stands but also wondering how heavy that complete motor is...?
