Default Motor build question with procharger

Im going to start building a motor for my car, i have 205 62 cc afr heads currently on my car with the procharger and would like to still use the heads. Will a fully forged 347 hold up to 1000 horse? Thats my goal or do i have to step up to a 370 or 408? And could i still use my heads thanks guys.

Do rods and pistons in a 4.8/5.3L Iron Block and your good. Just make sure to punch to a 3.905" Bore.

Just use the Iron block like I stated before and you'll be fine.

The L33 is definitely the strongest in the 3.8xx bore size but when taken to 3.905" I could see that diminishing. I would find a 4.8/5.3L iron block, buy a nice rotating assemble and have good shop assemble it.
