dude, forge your engine! Thats what I'm in the process of right now. You have a nice block, Teksid block, it can hold a lot of power. You already have a forged crankshaft. You could buy some low cost forged pistons and rods and have a nice low budget forged engine.

Thanks for the advice ! That is the way im leaning. While the motor is out do you think i should have any head work done? Headers?

might as well do longtubes if you have the money becuase it is much easier with the engine out
