Decent set of :-
Forged Pistons
Weighted set of Forged Con Rods+ ARP Retaining bolts
ACL Race Spec Big End + Main Bearing Shells
V9 Nitrided Crank
New/Modified Oil Pump

That will give you a Strong Bottom End to support your planned external mods.

How much power/torque are you going for?

If you're at a stage where the engine internals are a worry, then a std gearbox would be too. You;'d need to budget a further 2k+ for a 6 speed or PPG.
