Default 5.3 build ?s

ok i have a few ?s on my 5.3 build. first off it will be in my 89 camaro with 700r4 that is built up, it has a 3000 stall. im looking for around at least 400hp. i plan on using a ls6 intake, my ?s are i have a line on a set of 317s for cheap if i were to get those how much would i have to mill them or what pistons would i have to get to run them if i bore it to a 5.7. also what cam recomendations do you have, i will have long tube headers and full dual exhaust. thanks.

i would let the machine shop figure out what pistons and how much to mill,where i take mine he gets parts a little cheaper than i can get them.
