Last week I got my freshly ported AFR heads, Holley intake, and custom solid roller cam from Straub Technologies.
The short block has been together for a while but it consists of a Brodix aluminum block, a Scat lightweight 4340 crank, Scat 4340 6.535" H-beam rods, Diamond pistons with ceramic coating on top and DFL on the skirts. The rod and main bearings are also coated with DFL. ARP main and head studs finish it off.
A couple of pics of these beautiful pistons.

The intake system is this Holley HP EFI.

Fortunately I sent the intake along with the heads to be port matched... and the ports were off to one side enough that they required epoxy to bring them back in line.

I'm waiting for a few more parts to arrive and then it's on to actual assembly time.
