Out of a LS1 block !!!! You better have deep pockets ,LOL... The block will need sleaved. It will be cheaper to go with a after market tall deck block for the long stroke. . Im building a 430 out of a LS3 block with a 4.090" bore & 4.100 stroke

true to this. Upgrading simple valve train components like your push rods, rockers and valve springs will make it last and hold up to more power. The Rod bolts in 01 and 02 I believe were okay but still not the best.

Hate to break it to you, but hitting 10s with only a cam I feel is harder than you think. You are going to have to take a bunch of weight out, get some cool suspension with slicks, and drive the **** outta you car.
