Need advice on new rotating assembly
Well, I need a new rotating assembly for my LS7.
I want the best parts, made in the USA. Stock displacement. No billet rods. The motor will stay N/A. Around 600 whp.

Here is what I am thinking:
Block - stock, but maybe go ahead with a Dart aluminum. I'm open to input here.
Crank - Bryant Racing, with Nitride finish. Read more here - https://bryantracing.com/tech-talk/
Rods - Oilver
Pistons - CP Carillo or Diamond
Bearings - open to suggestions
Any issues with my thinking here?

I have to ask y no billet rods?Are you going to use the titanium rods?
If it was me I would go with a CCW crank .I’m getting ready to go thru my motor and about as light as you can get a aftermarket assembly is about 1750 grams balanced
JE pistons around 420 grams.i would buy them without gas ports and use the gas ported rings
trend wrist pins 123 grams .185 wall
compstar rods 620 grams(900 hp) or what I use lunatic pro I beams 630 grams (1100 hp)billet
howard reaper ccw crank 1750 grams should be good up to a 1000 hp
you’re not going to get a lighter rotating assembly without using your titanium rods
there’s a bunch of companies selling CCW crankshaft out there.from what I’m reading most are coming from China.and you said only USA parts good luck finding all USA parts

No worries. Thanks for the reply.
I understand about it being hard to find Made in the USA parts. But, I think the crank is the only part that is tougher to find. Oliver and CP are definitely Made in the USA.
