Default Tahoe LS1 build

Well starting to get it together now, pics will be forthcoming but here is the breakdown of the core pieces, I've decided to go with pretty much all off the shelf GM parts to keep cost down and yes I know I can make more power blah blah blah but this is just a replacement engine with a little more power, not looking for huge numbers on my DD! Anyway here is the breakdown

2002 LS1 shortblock
317 Truck heads (looking for 87 octane!)
LQ9 camshaft
Trickflow Chromoly pushrods
GMPP high volume oil pump
LS2 HD timing chain
electric fan swap kit
GMPP LS1 Plug wires
NGK's

have an 03 5.3 coming in Monday with 29K on, going to steal all the electronics off of it to replace all my sensors and such

Shortblock is torn down and waiting to go to the machine shop now, if it gets a clean bill of health I'll start getting the other pieces.

**Edit** supposed to be "Tahoe" engine build, the Taheo engine is still good
