So im trying to get a full list of stuff I need to complete my motor. I have a rotating stroker assembly, block and heads. Im listing off everything I have, then what I need, please chime in with something im forgetting. I have never pieced together a motor before, so I know I WILL forget something. Most important things are the ones the machine shop will need to complete the shortblock. I want to have this thing in the car so I can start work on my subframe. Chassis easily flexed with a stock 5.3l on its maiden voyage, so it needs serious reinforcement. I want to to be able to remove the oil pan, and tranny w/o pulling the motor, but still have the most structural support as possible. A roll bar with the possibility of a roll cage will help with the stiffening.

Details on the build are as follows: 6.0 iron block bored to 4.010. precision stroker crank, TSP diamond -15cc dished pistons, lunati rods, arkly and childs xtreme rings. For heads I have a set of afr 225’s that will be milled down to around 59-60cc chambers. The block was spec’ed out for a twin turbo build, I purchased it and have no need for more than 500rwhp on a regular basis, so im going to mill the heads to make up for the large piston dishes.
I had a fully running setup, then pulled the longblock w/o intake or pan. So I have all the acc and everything else needed to run.

Once its all up and running, i may merge this thread into my car's build thread, and add dyno sheets. Car will be tuned by Don Slowhawk Performance, and motor assembled by Jim Reid, at Reids automotive.
