Have him disassemble your block and hot tank it. It will take some extra money for the machine shop but it will look good

Wire tuck and simple green the engine bay. Relocate battery to the rear of the vehicle remove the fuse box from in the engine bay to under the glove box.

Just a few quick things you can do off the top of my head. I'd post pics of my car but I wont.
