Looks nice!  I forgot about them not having a mech. fuel pump. Looks like you had to run a remote oil filter, as well.

mancini and hughes sell a cam snout extender to run a fuel pump eccentric on a magnum cam, so you can use a mech fuel pump with an LA timing cover like he's running...it's around $20.
oil filter is in the same place as an LA, ad the right angle adapter will fit a mag block, so you don't NEED to run a remote oil filter, but there's no way not to get oil on the headers when you change oil with it in the stock location.

Sounds good, & yes i agree with Patrick, you should have had the cam re-ground, Hope you don't put a steeper gear in it because it'll run out of steam "quick" (ask me how i know), it'll be a torque monster thats for sure, i really like the magnums, they run strong.
Another tip: Don't run too much total timing like on the LAs, they run great around 30*.
