Finally, My engine is done!!!!
I finally got the engine back in the car and it actually started 
It runs really crappy because it needs a tune. I have a six speed and I installed a G5X3/114, TPIS long tubes, comp 921s, double roller timing chain,ported lS6 oil pump, and the aussie clutch. I originally spun a bearing in September so I used this as an opportunity to beef her up a bit. This is a big step for me as I am only 21 and this is the first engine I've built. I will be bringing it to Doug Rippie Motorsports this week to get the tune done. Any clue on what numbers I will see?
BTW - A big thanks to everyone who has helped me by answering my questions throughout this project. This forum is a great place

Congradulations on a job well done! I won't venture to guess how much power your new engine will be making. I'll tell you this though; you've had an experience that will profit you your whole life. Have a great time with your car, and good luck with the tune and the rest of it! Post the results as soon as you can!
