Last weekend, I cleaned the old carpet and pad out of the interior. Seats are already at the upholstery shop. Ran the stereo wires from the dash back to the trunk, putting them in the factory conduit which runs under the carpet. You can see it here running along the floorboard; It's the black ribbon looking thing on the driver's side floor:

Yesterday, I picked up the block from the machine shop. I had already chased all the bolt holes with a tap, cleaning them out. And I had radiused the oil passages and rounded sharp edges on the block to prevent cracks. I took the block for cylinder honing and crank align honing. I already had the crank ground 0.010" under on the main and rod journals. Now it's time to balance the crank with the pistons, rods, bearings and rings.
