Default 6.0 LQ4 Long Block

Guys i need some ideas.I work at a Chevy dealer.We have a "G" van with a 6.0 vin code "U" LQ4 engine.This van is a CNG/Gas vehicle.We are putting a long block in this thing.I am pretty sure that theheads/block is the same as a straight gas LQ4.The only difference is the intake set up.The old engine has scored bearings,but none were spun.I need some ideas.I wanna send this block out to be gone through.Should i do a 402 set up?What about the heads?Are the Aluminum LQ4 heads worth using?Or should i go aftermarket.I plan on looking for a roller F body to put this set up in.Any input would be appreciated guys.Also i plan on doing all the assembly to save some money.What block prep work will i need to have the machine shop do?Thanks
