Looks dope.

I'm surprised you're using DSS pistons. When I was shopping for parts for my rotating assembly I couldn't find much info in the GM world about them, it was mostly Ford guys. I'm sure they'll hold up but the 4032 alloy will be your biggest limiting factor.

just figured i would do a quick update on this..
put the ls1 fuel tank in with dual squash 340 pumps, 8 feed and return line, have the shortblock together but the piston rings were the wrong size so getting the new ones sent in now, thats pretty much what we are waiting on.. painting my wheels for the heck of it since im waiting doing that tomorrow
