5.3 rebuild question

haven't posted in a while, got my truck about done went to move it to tennessee and had it loaded up and made it about 200 miles and the oil pump took a dump and locked up the motor, fast forward a year i have my the motor out and tore down and at the machine shop.

so this is where im torn, i got to get the crank torn down .0010 (ten thousands hope i did that right lol) which is a 100 bucks, and i have to get connecting rods. looking at complete rotating assemblies aint too much different in price, I've been looking at stroker kits and cams, and its all kinda over whelming a bit....

i did see a video about stroker kits in the 5.3 having the piston skirt come down too low causing premature wear, is there any truth to this?

my truck is a 84 k10 with 3/4 ton running gear, 4l60e, 208 tcase, 35's, and a 4 inch lift, my goal is i wanna do 400 plus hp/tq to the ground. i know the tranny won't last long
