84 SN 454 Rebuild

I just wanted to ask you guys real quick for tips or suggestions on this motor we are dropping in soon........it's a 84 SN Barefoot.  It was restored by a guy that traveled a lot and left it one winter....cracked the block.  Well we pulled it out and have been in the process of transferring pretty much all the accessories to a new long block.  So far I have had to buy several things from the guys at SKIDIM.  New manifolds, new circ pump, new impeller, new oil pressure sensor, new fuel pump.....and so on.  ANYTHING YOU GUYS CAN GIVE ME A HEADS UP ON THAT MAKES LIFE EASIER OR PEACE OF MIND?  Thanks.

It's a reverse rotation motor.  The long block is a Power Torque reverse rotation.  I double checked to make sure all of that was correct.  I'm pretty sure the block that was in it was the original PCM.....but it had been gone thru.
