Default LS1 Guys, HELP!

Heres the scoop... Ive just gotten an LS1 today (my first) and dont really know about the "specifics" of the LS engines. So I have plenty of money to spend on this engine seeing ive saved for a while.... its going to be a carb conversion and of course stroked and heads will be ported. its an (iron block) though... out of a truck.

Please fill me in with some basics and to do's of this engine

***and if you had a lot of money, and a LS1, what would you guys do to it (a dream engine) no forced induction or spray tho. like what stroke, bore, cam, int. stuff would you guys do. it is going to be solid roller, and ide like to be around 600-700 hp.

Thanks alot guys
