Default LQ4 help

So i recently bought an LQ4, I'm going to put it my 52 chevy pick up that i am restoring, I'm looking for some advice on rebuilding it I'm looking for over 500 horse on the motor, and I want it carbuarted. I'm looking for in depth help as going as far as helping me find the best engine bearings, connecting rods, pistons, etc. I want to keep it a 6.0l, I want a texas speed and performance magic stick 4, and L92 heads. I've heard this combo will make the horse power i'm looking for. thanks for your time and help

Ms4 was designed as a cathedral port grind. Ur better off with a l92 grind for best results. Keep the stock heads, just have them milled .030 with ls2 head gaskets
