Default Just got a free 5.3L...mod's

Ok so I got a free 5.3 from a friend, I plan on putting it in my 96 bird (v6) but first I wana build it, I'm looking for a DD motor hopefully but about 400-500 rwhp but if I can get more outa it I'll do it and buy another car to drive. I can do almost all the work in house except for boring the block so labor is no big deal.

dont bore it out, leave it a 5.3, and boost it. thats the best option IMHO. 400-500 hp, on a 5.3 (or even bored to a 5.7, tho its easier on a 5.7, and 400 isn't hard to achieve) takes away a lot of street ability on a N/A car.

Hoping to go the N/A route with this engine if possible.
