5.3 Junkyard Build. Need inputs before proceeding.

Like it says im brand new to this.




Ive got an 02 5.3 from some guy off craigslist for $200. Block/Heads/Crank/Rods/Oilpan/NoSensors. I want to put it in my 92 Ext cab Silvy to take place of the 350. As of now my 350 isn't blowing up soon so I want to put the 5.3 on an engine stand and build it throughout the time. Ive done tons of research for the past 6 months before buying the engine. And I want opinions if the parts list I have will work as a DAILY and a weekend warrior.
