Well I did get everything back together last night, and she fired right up after setting the timing (manually with the crank, not fun). Had to set it with a light then. This morning I drove up to 50resto for a new MAF, and put it on and now she runs pretty good. Yall might have seen my power steering thread the other day, I put the pulley on backwards accidentally. I tried to take it back off with a gear puller, and it bent the pulley. So now I don't have power steering, so it's real hard to drive, but she does run. I have a rocker ticking, but I need to reset the lash in a couple days anyway, so I'm not real worried about it. That's about it. All in all the swap was real easy, I was surprised how easy it was (with the exception of the power steering problem).
BTW, was stangnet down for most of yesterday and this morning?

so how long till its all broken in?

will do TJ. I just gotta get the idle right, reconnect the power steering and check my MAF electronics and I should be good. That is until I have to pull the valve covers off the recheck the lash. I have 1 rocker ticking. 
Did I mention an oil leak? Oh yea I think I did in that PM. Yea Mike forgot to tighten down 3 bolts on the oil pan (we loosened the front 3 on each side, I tightened mine down, he forgot his) and that's where the leak was from. No oil leaks now.
That made my day!
