Default 370 build

What's up guys, had my engine finished up today. It's a lq4 bored .30 over, k1 forged crank, k1 rods, wiseco -11cc dish pistons, tool steel wrist pins, rings were gapped at .22 and .24, stage 2 btr turbo cam, billet timing set, arp main studs, arp headstuds, prc as cast 225 heads, 68cc combustion chamber, ls7 lifters, ls9 headgaskets, melling hpop, holley hi ram with a 92mm throttle body. First engine build so I'm sure there is better combinations of parts out there but I'm happy how it turned out, what you guys think? Heres a few picts of the build process.

Stack of parts.


The 6.0 i picked up from lkq looked decent but the main bearings were shot.








Vge done all machine work.



Cam going in

My LQ4 pan was 2" from the ground when I mocked it in my 55 Chevy hot rod Truck. Went with a Corvette one and now tucked up nicely.
Nice motor.
