408 Short Block Buildup (I need Suggestions)

Hey Guys I'm building a 408 Iron Block Short Block, I already have the Iron Block and suggestions from You on what other Parts I may need to Buy to complete my Short Block , I want to Purchase The Eagle brand Products due to my Budget . I have LS6 Heads but I'm waitng for the Short Block to be done first before I have them touched ..... Here are my needs on this Motor -- (500 N/A --300 Shot )

    Thanks Fells , Erik.

    List of best parts at best prices

    Eagle Forged Crank 4.00" Stroke
    Callies 6.125" Forged LS1 Rods
    Diamond Pistons 4.030 Bore
    Diamond Pro-Select File Fit Rings
    Federal Mogul Main Bearings
    Federal Mogul Rod Bearings
    Clevite Cam Bearings
    ARP Main Studs
    Custom Cam

    These parts will allow you to make 800 engine hp safely.
    The main problem with the Eagle Kits is lack of piston choice as you are stuck with a -2cc flat top which will give you a 12.5:1 compression ratio woth the LS6 heads. Diamond has a -15cc dish piston that will give you about 10.5:1 compression.
    12.5:1 is not pump gas friendly.
    Give us a call and we can talk to you about a package deal for doing the short block and heads.
