Default Fastest Build for LS1?
So, I've got a newly cleaned/bored/planed aluminum LS1 block and I'm trying to find away to build it up without breaking the bank. Stock performance is fine (sadly) All I have now is a block...the crank was bent and the cylinders had to be overbored, I have nothing else...long story, nvmd.

Any thoughts on how to get this running?

I have a crank and rods from an LS6 sitting in the garage. Buy some forged pistons and ARP bolts. Look around for someone with the stock cam and heads they changed out and you are almost there. Tuned.. the stock set up is around 360-370 rwhp.
