I have been looking into something similar for myself and all I can say is look into what pistons you want. This will help control the compression ratio if you are looking for high or moderate, also if you plan on further mods down the line. Things like NOS, turbo, supercharger etc... I am looking at a flat top piston which as far as I can tell is a pretty good/versital piston for naturally aspired power. There are also improvements you can add when having your motor assembled like, port/polish or blueprinting. These things will improve the life and reliability of your new motor-so I understand anyway. I am pretty new to this so take what I say as suggestion, not fact, thanks

I'm really not sure what you're asking here...there's not enough detail to give feedback on the build without a lot more detail and some idea of what you're going to use the 'Vette for...
