what do you think of aluminium rod on street use some time ??
Nothing wrong with aluminum rods on the street. Use a little tighter bearing clearance to allow for expansion and keep it cool. If the motor runs hot on the street, the oil pressure at idle will suffer and you could knock the rod bearings out of it.
Looks like a bunch of good parts. I would run a bigger pan, big motors will hold a bunch of oil in them at higher RPM. I ran a 12 qt pan. Good luck with the project!
