408 motor inquiry

What are your thoughts on this 408 build..

6.0 GM Block
Callies Compstar 4340 Crank
Callies Compstar 6.125 Rods
Diamond -2cc pistons
ARP Main Studs

Still needing to decide on heads. Looking to stay around 10.0-10.3 compression as im putting a F1A on it.

Thoughts, suggestions, questions??

What kind of longevity are you looking for?
When you say F1 anything I hear Sleeved Aluminum, LSX, RHS or Dart block...
Pump gas with Methanol? Straight pump fuel?
What kind of heads CNC'd LSA's, LSX?

Im aiming for a 750-800RWHP car that I can drive on cruises and to shows. Not looking to race it as much. Been down that route with my previous car and it just doesn't interest me as much anymore.
