Default Build thread need help!!

First time going boosted need help with build.
Any suggestions positive or negative thanks in advance!

5.3 block
3.903 Mahle pistons flat top 2 relief
6.125" eagle rods
4"eagle crank
ARP Studs (heads and crank)
Stock 317 heads
Plan to run E85
Plan on using some version of s480
Using MS3X
Th400 trans.

Looking to make 700-800hp until getting it under control then going for 900-1000hp. Going in a s10 street/strip truck.
Want to be able to build boost without a huge stall and be able to drive the truck on the street. I have a no idea on cam or intake setup so far. I have a Vic jr and also have a stock ls1 intake. No injectors, fuel pump, cam, turbo etc. any help greatly appreciated. And are my goals realistic?

Also need to know what head gaskets, piston rings, lifters, etc would be best.

What do I need to do so it will live on 4 bolt heads? At what rpm is to much for a certain amount of boost?
