Since the motor in my truck is questionable at the moment. Has had metal shavings on drain plug magnet last three oil changes. More every time I change the oil. I have decided to build an Iron Block LS1. Most of the parts are here and I decided to start a build thread. Looking at 11:1 CR with 8.8DCR and a quench distance of 0.030. I know that is on the limit of pump gas but I would like to run e85 once it is available in my area.

I am also going to rebuild my transmission while I have my current motor out for the swap. Let me know what you all think of the parts and what power it will make.
