My engine build idea

So im probably going to buy my friends ls2 out of a trailblazer that he got for pennies and i was wondering what everyone thought of this build for a part time driver (I put around 200-400 miles a month on). I have an M6 and might have to have it rebuilt due to age and grinding gears from bad syncros. But let me know what you guys think of this and what else i would be missing:

ls2 block
243 heads
Trex v.2 Cam
ls6 or ls2 intake
Headers

Need wiring harness extensions for the cam sensor as well. The LS1 has it in the back while the LS2 has it in the front cover.

And knock sensors as well. Several sponsors sell them as a kit. And I would just use an LS6 intake and port the TB if you can't find a deal on a used FAST 90/92...
