Np, I made the thread because there's a lot of variance between builders, racers, and OEMs which was making it really difficult to decide what I needed. The OEM stuff is insanely tight by comparison (even on something like the LS9).
I think I've decided on 22-23/24-25 rods/mains. I also returned my 10554 for a 10552 (10% HV) and will be running the 6qt Moroso 20182 pan. It's deeper than stock but only by 3/4" which isn't bad. Still won't be lower than my Mcleod bellhousing.
