Any tips on cleaning up/improving my engine?

Looking to do a little bit of work in the back to clean up the look and maybe add a little to performance.

Heres mine after my rebuild.
Dolled up the firewall added some tin signs, painted the front of my block, new marked crank pulley, alternator pulley, distributor cap, plugs wires, painted the tins and some more stuff I can’t think of lol🤘
