Update:

Completed (mostly) the build this weekend and started the engine for the first time Saturday, 7/17/21. Fired right up on first turn of the key.

Left to do:
1. Exhaust system. Probably going to sub this task out.
2. Rebuild rear axle and add limited slip.
3. Monitor rear main seal for oil leak (may have botched the seal install). It was hard to install with the engine on the stand.
