Turbo Charged LS Swapped 1964 C10 First Fire- Sloppy Stage 2 Cam

I've been building a 1964 C10 for the last year and a half. I purchased a 2003 3500 express van and used the 6.0 LS 4L80E transmission, and hydroboost brakes in the build. I've been waiting to prove thing out before I post content of how things were done but here's the first fire up.

The exhaust is 4" stainless downpipe off the turbo to a custom made 4" to 3" y pipe and duals out the back through 2 flowmaster super 10 single chamber mufflers.

I've documented a lot of the info of the build but will only post content as things are proven to work.

The engine engine was tore completely down, ball honed the cylinders, surfaced the deck and heads with a flat sheet of tempered glass and abrasive paper. All measurements were taken with a mitutoyo bore gauge and fowler mics. Then it was assembled with gen 4 rods on a gen 3 crank with DSS 2618 forged pistons that were the right weight to compensate for the heavier rods by 4-5 grams. No balancing was done so time will tell if it holds together. Machine shop rates and balancing are astronomical up here in Alaska so I wanted to see if I could build a forged piston boosted motor that would take some abuse without breaking the bank. More videos to come. Feel free to flog me with what I've done wrong or ask questions.
