Watch out for any debris falling in your engine. Vacuum up around your pushrods and lifters and cover up the area so nothing can contaminate or mess up your engine.
Looking good, so much easier to clean and upgrade out of the engine bay.
Quick tip, when you hoist that thing up again, put the largest washers you have at the end of the bolts in the heads, put some strain on it (don't lift it off the ground) then tighten the lifting bolts. It will be a rough day if that hook slips off the head of that tiny bolt. Keep up the good work.
The seam on your firewall appears to have rust. Since you pulled the engine, it might be a good time to wire wheel, grind, and sand the rust from the seam. Ensure there is no rust through and repair is needed and apply a rust seal of some sort to the seam area. Seems that is where much rust through occurs with our trucks.

Mike I will make sure to do that when I get to cleaning the engine bay. Do you have any rust seal recommendations?
Don't use blue RTV
I use Flitz metal pre-clean for gunked up surfaces like that.
Let it soak after you apply with brush.
You can wipe off with wet cloth. It is mildly caustic.
Graingers has it for just under 25 buck, much less of you buy off their website.
Do you have the reverse fan and cutch for the engine or are you going with an electric fan setup?
Cheezwizz LOL
I usually use bearing grease on cork or neoprene, re-torque.
These look great, will give it a try.
Gettin crazy with the cheeze whiz on that pan. Try using this instead because that will leak
