Default Would like some help on a 500 ci build.

My application is a jet boat running two pumps, So I am looking for alot of tq but don't need to rev it that high(5500 max).
My plan is to use an RHS block, 9.2:1, 4.6 x 4.165, 228/238 .600.600 114 l/c set of Mast 305 cc heads, v7syi votech @ about 5 lbs of boost, water to air intercooler, carbed or maybe even fuel injected, on 91 octane.
My power goals are 850-950 ftlbs at around 5000 rpm.
I have actually done this before with a BBF and ran it on 87 octane with 830 ftlbs@5000 rpm just the engine weighs over 1200 lbs with all the trim vs 700 with the ls engine.
My questions are?
Any advantage to going RL superdeck?
How hard is it to source Crank, Rods, Pistons, etc.
A little concerned with how long the rod may have to be ending up with a long dwell at TDC. Great for tq but bad for Deto

Thoughts?

RHS build will be the same in $ and it's a better block also with FI you will probably need to keep bore @ 4.125 the only problem with RHS block is the cast iron sleeves that's the only problem you can't go to over 4.165 bore but the block is way better than stock LS block with spacer for added stroke.ERL is good but to start off @ 10 grand they don't sell the block and head spacer by it self, you have to buy complete short block $9,900.oo.
