Nice work; What kind of truck?
You are going to have trouble with that breather line hook up, esp on boost; pressurizing the crankcase is not a good idea. It should go into a can or filter to atmosphere. I am at the same point on my build and am venting mine into the intake ahead of the T body (non boosted)

I feel bad for that poor little alternator + the plugs, they have to survive that inferno...

Are you leaving the alternator cable like that? You can run it to the side or underneath without problems. I've had mine like that for a while.

It looks great though, nice work.
