Default help on deciding on building a engine.

ok here is the deal. right now im full bolt ons and nitrous with drag radials im auto.
my friend gave me his 4.6 03 gt block with internals. no top end.
so my ?s is wat do i do with it. i no i can save up and buy a mmr block. but i have a stock block i want to work with.
some choices are.
putting a stroker kit in it. stroke it to a 5.1. that was my friends choice.
or fully fully build it. heads cams.
or what ryour guys other choices. i dont wanna go supercharger or turbo yet. nitrous yes.

can you guys give me some choices or opinions.

the stock blocks can hold alot with forged internals i thought they were limited at like 400 or 500 but if thats the case ill get some forged internals and build it for some juice maybe 150 or so. any good places to get forged internals such as kits or parts.
