Depends all what you do and what cam you get for power wise.
Good luck!
PS: You should take care of the casting flashes for the oil holes. Makes for better flow.
That kit would be a BAD choice.
The pistons are stock equivalent, the rods potentially a step backwards because the stock LT1 rods are very good, by the time you add the parts to make it worthwhile and consider balancing costs and such you are at the price of a Compstar Speedpack which is a FAR FAR better package with better parts and value.
Before I would use that kit as is I would keep the stock crank give it some good rods say a $300 set of Scat capscrew 6" and Mahle forged pistons, would be a better total setup and despite the displacement love everyone has would be just as potent if matched with the right parts. I know everyone get caught up in forged cranks but the stock crank is STOUT and it would be the last piece I would worry about.
