If turning a lot of RPM then rods and rod bolts.

If throwing on alot of boost or nitrous then the pistons will be the weak link.

With a good tune, quality gas and spinning it to non-astronomical RPMs that engine should last a long time.

At 8 pounds you should have no problems as long as you don't get rpm crazy. They key is a good tune.

how hard would it be to get a good tune with a carb and a msd 6010?

It's actually pretty easy with the timing retard feature. The msd 6010 is very user friendly and is easy to tune with a laptop. Just get a blow thru carb and you good to go...check out this months Car Craft Engine Swap magazine, there is a yellow turbo LS powered maverick witha nice budget setup...
