Default New Miata in Md

Hey guys im here on the boards looking for some parts. I have a 90 miata gonna be going ls1. My honest goal is first v8 miata in 10's. I was hoping to find a ls1 for sale on here with maybe a couple of problems. I actually need a motor for my engine repair class for my auto tech program. I figured since it is all apart i should just do a stroker kit to replace everything. If anyone has a motor set up for this let me know. Here are some pics.

its been a while but here is the update...i picked up a shortblock off the forum and it has been ripped apart and inspected by my tech friend Rick.

Pistons, rods, etc. Im gonna go with the TSP 2.5 LS6 heads but I want them milled to 58cc and a MS4 cam with it. Fast ported 92/95. Here is a pic of the motor, its a lil old...
