I built mine with the parts listed in my signature. I used the stock 350 block out of the Suburban. I had it 90 degree square decked so that the pistons are .004 in the hole, align bored, race prepped, balanced etc etc. I clearenced the block myself for the H-beam rods and smoothed all of the oil gallies. I also ported and polished the heads myself and put the motor together as well.

I have an excel spreadsheet showing all of the parts and part numbers if anyone wants it.
