Does my timing look correct? Never done this! Looking for input, I will fix whatever is necessary. I believe I have it straight up and down, or should I look for a better angle than looking down into the bay?

The only way to tell if the timing is correct is to degree the cam. I just degreed the custom ground cam in my 4.8L and it was off 2 degrees, even though it was "dot to dot" on the timing set.

If your dot on the crank gear is at the white mark then yes you got it.
I've read several posts recently where cams were ground off a little so I agree degreeing the cam should be done.
But as far as dot to dot, you got it.
