Time for an update:
All of this is now going in my Sierra Mist Blue '95 GT that I bought to replace my '96 GT that is for sale.
How things sit as of now:
I have updated the original post and will put up pics of the 'new' parts that are taking place of the ones that got replaced in the first post.
Link to my heads that are now sitting and awaiting install on the bottom-end:

The '95 needs a head gasket on the rear bank, as the motor I bought had a blown one. I will begin doing this, this week and finish it up over the weekend. Once this is done the car will get a rough tune on it and driven to JMB performance to have the oil pump mounted and the pulley situation taken care of, along with some plumbing work done for the oiling.
From this I can order the proper set of gears/pullies for the oil pump and send them along with the bottom end parts to be balanced, assembled, etc..
I hope to have the car to JMB in the next couple weeks, and hopefully it will only be there a couple weeks. I look to have the car back by the end of the month or so, so that I may be able to run the oil setup and test it out for a while on this stock motor.
Also, I have been continuing to buy stuff for the car..
NGK Powerdex Wideband 02 (Time to step up from the LC-1)
Aeromotive AFPR (with another MBX fuel rail adapter)
MS3/MS3x
Coil on Plug conversion parts
'98 626 NGK plug wires
OEM Euro Indicators, harnesses, brackets
The ITB setup is nearing completion as well.
When the car is back from JMB I also plan on getting the car setup on the MS3/MS3x and COP setup to test out while I test the oiling. And possibly test out the ITB setup for a bit.
I have a meet in Columbia Missouri April 30-May 1, and Bamm in Indy May 27-29th. So I am working around those. I am trying to get as much done as I can on the car, but still have it running and in attendance for both meets. So, if I am not going to have time to tune and such the new motor before BAMM, then I will just drive it with the ITB, MS3, etc on a stock motor until after BAMM, then put in the new motor. I don't want to rush anything..but I am trying to keep this on track as much as I can.
