Default Best crate engine for 500 RWHP

I have a 99TA wit way too many miles. What is the best crate engine for the $$$ to result in 500 RWHP nat aspirated? I plan to rebuild the tranny and add a 12 bolt rear. I've been considering the LS3 complete engine for around 6-7K (Pace) for the power and easy conversion. I would need the computer and harness as well. Does anyone know of any deals new LS crate engines?

Why buy a new LS3 when you can get a nice 408, 427, etc. built and it won't require a new ECM and harness?

We can get you setup with a 408 c.i. short-block or long-block for pretty reasonable money. With the right supporting mods they can go 500 HP to the ground no problem. Let us know what you have and we can get you fixed up!
