If you don't know what they come in, I'd doubt you would be interested in a build of this magnitude......Alot of money, and custom one off parts are required.....

Do you think 1000hp might be a little optimistic with those turbos?

I think a BBC all iron is in the neighborhood of 775lbs.

An LS1 with all accessories, wiring harness, PCM weighs approx 460lbs
