Clean and Neat!
Very nice! Tasteful use of just that tiny extra bit of RED in the engine bay. I love it!

neat clean and tidy nice work I hope it runs great when your done.
FWIW it would be a good idea to figure out where the crusty s are coming from on the coolant tank,
if its between the cap collar and the body then the tank should be replaced,
it does look like it has been leaking,
though a bad cap could have caused this

Bill,
You may not have the problem, but...
Powder coating the water cross-over can create a problem. The powder coating can create an insulating coating, so that the Temp II sensors are not grounded, which can keep the engine from running. I hope that you don't have a problem, but if so, knowing this might save you some time.

Just curious. Would simply wire brushing out the sensor's receiving threads to provide un-impeded contact suffice ?

That depends...
Will the wire brushing remove the (very tough) powder coating to bare metal?
Is there a ground path from the cross-over to the block? That is, is there powder coating on the mating surfaces that will insulate the two surfaces?
Is there powder coating on the faces where the bolt heads touch that will insulate the surfaces?
Might not be as simple as it might seem...
