I have a 5.6 m117 that threw a rocker. Never thought about rebuilding it. But maybe I will. Was just gonna junk it.

More progress, almost ready to POR-15 and primer the passenger side. Decided I would do the core support too, but am going to leave the driver's side. I really don't want to take the ABS and brake lines off, and that side doesn't have nearly as much rust.
Engine taking shape
Worst part of the radiator support, after grinding. Still need to sand blast it.
Center of radiator support got a little whacked when we pulled the old engine out, straightened it out as best as possible by hand

I reeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaly hope you simplify the vacuum system and wiring system in this car. Have you considered to switching to coil packs or something of the sort?
I love how big this car is man. It's long and wide without being tall like today's land yachts.

So progress for today...
Sanded the fins on one valve cover, and half of the fuel distributor lines (not pictured, to be polished)
Primer down, amazing how much better everything looks already.
First coat of paint (and then I ran out,) this is my first time painting anything like this.

So I finished base coat on passenger engine bay yesterday.
Finally got around to doing the driver's side engine bay today. Pretty happy with the way it came out considering ABS and A/C lines being in the way, and I'm even debating not clear coating it because it looks pretty good already. Tomorrow I plan to clean miscellaneous hoses and firewall pieces, put the battery tray back, etc.
Before:
After primer, scuff, paint

HA! Just went back and noticed I missed the part where you said where you were from, Lake Calhoun area of Minneapolis. Don't know how I missed that.
