Default Just another 6.0 build

Well decided instead of workin on the 5.3, ill just build something i want and be done . Started out with a $400 complete lq4 to go in the 01 sierra ecsb, got it tore down and ready to take to the machine shop. wanted just to build something mild thats street friendly as the truck is my daily. got my cam package in a couple days ago and picked everything up at the machine shop today..... Startin to get excited about it.
This is my list, nothing crazy....

Texas Speed Torquer V.2 cam package w/pac double springs and 7.4 p-rods

TSP ported and shimmed oil pump

Ls7 lifters

Billet single roller adjustable timing chain

Bored 30 over w/dished pistons

Now just waiting to get all my gaskets and for the injectors to be rebuilt. Heres a few pics. Any advice on sealing the gaskets up would be much appreciated.

Gonna be sweet!

Think 350-375 horse power? Maybe that is a touch on the low side?
