Critique my LM7 build
I'm putting together an LM7 to swap into my 71 C10.
Build as follows:
Stock 80k bottom end
706 heads, milled .030-.040 to bump compression
Leftover Comp 228/230, .581/.583, @112 straight up
Either LS3 springs or I have some Comp 925's with Ti retainers that I might toss on it.
LS7 lifters/cups
LS2 chain
TSP ported LS6 oil pump
OEM headbolts/MLS gaskets
Pacesetter LT's with single 3" exhaust
Truck intake + flex fuel injectors. I'll probably put together an SD tune for it.
Rest of drivetrain will be a fresh 4L60E with 3,000 converter and a 12 bolt with 3.73's and a rebuilt clutch posi.
Does anybody have any thoughts or suggestions?
Trying to do this as cheap as possible, just a low buck **** around toy that'll run decent.

Thanks guys. Like I said, it's just going to be an on the cheap toy this summer. Something that's easy to drive and can turn the tires when necessary...
I plan on doing an LS6 intake next winter if it doesn't get sold over the summer.
