Did this ever run?
We did pretty much the same build in the first part of 2006, and it had problems. I offset ground a stock crank to the 1.88" rods and 3.575" stroke and used the same cadillac wet sleeves in your picture only cut down a bit to fit the 1uz block. They were bored out to fit northstar pistons, and we hung 'em on BMW s14 rods. It had problems with the parent aluminum in the block around the base of the sleeves leaking and cracking. A half fill of the block probably would have solved it, but I'm interested to see how yours turned out. We didn't have a dyno, but the power started to drop off at about 6000 rpm... we used the stock 1uz heads, and they need alot more CSA to turn the same kind of RPM a stock 1uz will.
