Good build abuseable combo for a 350 small block?

Okay so im looking to figure out a good strong build for a 350 that will take lots of abuse but stay strong. Im building it for a suburban with 35s. It has a new 700r4 trans with a bnm shift kit. The rear end is freshly rebuilt with 373 gears in it but im planning to swap them for 4.10s. I habe a 4 bolt main bare block waiting to be built but im not sure what all i should put in it. Any thoughts?

Any good forged crank and h beam rod would do it. Forged piston, have it well balanced and machined and it will live.

abuse wise, keeping oil and coolant temps in check is key. Also keeping oil clean.

And in terms of the rest of the driveline...if you are keeping the stock 10bolts you might have issues. Large tires+aggressive driving will be torture on those stock axles. Rebuilt or not. Also check out ck5.com for any square body specific questions you have.
