Default First Time top-end build LS2. . . .

I recently blew up my Ls1 and got a good deal on a ls2. its been torn down to just the short block, only has 17k on it. It doesn't have vvt or anything exotic to make it fun. My parts list includes:

Head install kit (tsp)
tsunami cam (tsp)
243 prc stage 2.5 heads
ls2 timing chain (gm)
ls7 lifters (new)
7.4 hardened pushrods
plus all the minor things needed.

Its going into a 98 f-body. I'm sure there have been plenty of write ups involving this swap but I work 80 plus hours a week while trying to put in the wrench time. Thanks in advance!
