At this point I decided to set the engine back in and see how well things fit. I learned my driver side was a bit too tight. Everything fit, but I could tell removing the down pipe at the manifold collector would be tough it I ever had to take things apart. I figured now was the time to make it right so cut part of my box back out and lengthened the relief a bit on that side.
Finally I ground all of the welds and generally smoothed things out a bit. Then some paint and undercoating.
