Have a knowledgeable professional engine builder put the shortblock together. Preferably someone that has a lot of experience with LSX engines. Lots of things need to be taken into account during assembly with an LSX that you don't have to do when building a SB or a BB. Call SDPC or TSP. They can hook you up with an assembled, reliable short block for pretty cheap.
oh i didnt plan on building from the block up, i was going to get the SB then add the other stuff such as heads cam intake(or some kind of FI Maybe a Maggie

) and ofc all the neccesities such as a water pump alternator the belts and ofc the oild pan and all the fluid containers(prolly do that after the engine is dropped in tho, not sure if its better to do it first or last)
then after i do that i can prolly use the same headers and just sell the LS1 for like 1500$
