Default Engine for turbo Mustang swap?

Sorry if this has been covered but Iam in the process of doing a lsx turbo swap in my 03 Mustang GT and need some advice about what engine or components I should buy. First option is 408 LQ4 AFR heads, GT4788 turbo, th400 ect. Really don't want to spend this much on a 408 setup if I can get my next option in the 800hp-1000hp range.

Option 2, LQ4 370, stock crank, good rods and pistons bolts ect with L92 ported heads, GT4788 or PT8847. This option would be better for my pocket book if it would hold together. Car will be mostly a street car and track visits every once in awhile. Not a everyday driver just a weekend car. Thanks guys
