Giving in
Well I pulled her out of the garage yesterday to clean the layer of dust off and for some reason that really made me want to spend some money on it. So today I said screw my savings account, a custom cam is being spec'd, Lunati link-bar lifters are ordered, as well as a Rollmaster double roller timing set.

Money well spent
Well after exploring a few options and hitting a few dead ends, I finally broke down and called LME. They're supplying an RHS-based 408 short block, although it is not your normal 408 bore and stroke. Stroke is 3.819 and bore is 4.125. Also sourced a turbo and wastegate from LS1tech, a 91mm Turbonetics Thumper. And lastly, ordered a set of PRC 237s so hopefully I'll have an expensive pile of parts laying in the garage soon.
