Planing on doing a 383 n/a

I'm planing on doing a 383 with 450rwhp as my daily driver. I did search aroudn but everything was too specific. Any Pointers?? OK more specific what should i watch out for? I want to go all forged and maybe a 12.0 compresion with AFR 190 heads ported by LE and matching intake (maybe single plane) Probably the cam will be like the le3 or a bit bigger. What components should i use to have a strong engine that will hold for road racing (xtended periods of high rpm). Well guys any pointers will be greatly apreciated.

Splayed 2 bolt conversion. Has to be done by a machine shop, along with your other block work.

No, they will. They need the right caps, studs, etc.
