What are your power goals? A hybrid will really get better results out of that, iron heads and stock intake manifolds aren't that great. As for building the block, unless you're looking for an RPM increase also, the stock bottom end can probably take 400 if its in good shape, stock connecting rods are forged, crank is pretty strong for the late year v6s(85+). Really if you do anything you should make the engine flow better via porting what you have or hybrid.

3x00 top end, 3500 crank and forged pistons should get you where you want to go.
