Default LS1 into a Suzuki Samurai

I have a 1990 Suzuki Samurai and I am in the parts getting stages of a LS1 with TEA stage 1.5 heads, 212/218 Comp Cam, and C6 manifolds with a TH400, NP 208 and K5 Blazer running gear. It will have all new suspension to go along with the new drivetrain. So far all I have is a taken apart Samurai and alot of parts, but I am working on getting all of my water foul and a linear orientation (ducks in a row ) So here are the pictures of what I have Name:  DSC_0163.jpg

It might end up with the 5.3 out of my wife's truck when the LS2 goes in it just to get it on the road faster since that motor is fine and runs good I just wanted to almost double the HP in her truck. The LS1 if everything checks out and I can assemble it will just get tossed in. This is going to be a slow build but a through on and with nice parts with good power

Once all is said and done it should weigh 3100lbs. A friend of mine was joking and said I would have one more hell of a sleeper. The cam is on a 115. I was going to get a cam from Stock48 which is an awesome guy and was super helpful but this cam just kind of fell into my lap. I got it and the heads for 900. I understand the truck is going to haul ***, but I am not building it for that. I wanted more power than the 1.6 had with it's 95hp and I have a couple LS1s laying around so....why not. I am however curious what it will run when done, if it gets traction.

I would consider swapping it for a 222/224 or something like tat. I think you used to run that cam. If you still have it let me know maybe we could work out a trade.
