Default LQ4 Build Opinions Welcomed

Just wanted to post my build and would like to have your opinions on what I've done, should do, or need to do...

It is going in a 2700# (with all steel 383 installed) road course car. Replacing the 383 with this engine.

Want to run pump 93 and have it last, not looking for a hi strung race motor.

LQ4 -- Just had it +.030 as the machinest happened to have some SpeedPro's Hyper. for it that he tossed in...

Stock Crank/rods
ARP Rod bolts
Clevite H rod and main bearings. (Will the chamfered rod bearings be ok on a stock crank?

TR224 112 Camshaft (used needed to save some $$$)

Melling Oil Pump

Kevco Road Race 7 qt baffled oil pan.

Ernie Elliott Fram HP6 Oil Filter head. (the oil pan only has -10 outlets no filter provisions)

3 qt accusump

Oil cooler

LS somthing timing chain

LS7 Lifters
SDPC sold me the chain and lifters and oil pump I'll look up the part numbers.

799 Heads

Truck Intake

ATI Dampner

7.25 Tilton 3 disc clutch.


The build is costing me 2x what I had budgeted so I need to start cutting costs... (Actually I had origionally planned on running a stock but cammed 5.3 and it got out of hand!)

Needs
Spings
Gasket Kit
Push Rods
Injectors
Tune

Opinions?
