If you got it cheap enough punch that bitch out to an LS1. For your desired power level, forged is not necessary.
Sonic, hot tank, line bore, bore, polish crank you're probably looking at about $800.
Get yourself a set of LS1 pistons/rods out of a 04' GTO ($150) and throw a new set of rings in ($50) and some Katech rod bolts ($200). All new bearings ($300), ARP main studs ($200), head bolts ($50), LS9 headgaskets ($100), HD timing set from Yank ($72). Cam kit from thunder racing or TSP ($600) + LS6 oil pump ($150). Then just get a set of worked 799/243s.
Sell off all the stock 5.3 **** for a couple hundred bucks.
More cubes = more better
