Default First Engine Build

Hey guys im deciding to step into a whole new ball game for my car. This time next year ill be receiving my reenlistment bonus and i want to build a fresh motor for my car. Ive noticed a lot of people are building 408s. Any reason or just personal preference. I was thinking of buying an LS3 and doing a 427. I will not be running any FI but will do nitrous. I would like the car to be around 550+ rwhp. Im asking for suggestions on what people would recommend looking into. Never built a motor fresh before so im kinda lost at where to begin. What block, what stroke/bore, etc. Thanks for the input on helping me get my build started
