Are the pistons the only new part in the shortblock? And are those untouched 243s that are on it? This a mild LS1 build I guess is what I'm asking...?

ZR1, the pistons, crank, camshaft, lifters, lifter trays, oil pump, timing set, front cover, ls6 valley cover, and all hardware is all new. Stock 243 heads are milled 6 thousandths and a valve job was done.

Just a basic engine build....which was my intention.
