Wont happen without a 6 bolt block or o-ringed setup. Talk to a professional engine builder this isn't the place for what you are dreaming of.

Show me proof of 1 just 1 5.3 block that puts down 1200rwhp and has made more than one pass to tell about it. If you know something we don't than why don't you share with us?

While you can probably build the motor to make that power, I highly doubt the head gaskets are going to like it very much.

it is possible to make that power ( not easy) but like mentioned it wont last. but if you are looking to make 1200-1400 hp you would have a custom cam specd. why waste time in a forum when you can get one just for your engine
