Default Engine mod question Ls-5 454

I have a Ls5 manley cam stock bottom end ,edelbrock torq2 manifold, edelbrock 750 carb ... While my car is apart for painting I was thinking about future engine choices or what to do with the engine I have.

Do I sell the one I have and go with a crate motor or what choices or suggestions to do with the one I have ?

I like the 509 Merlin crate engines AS far as hp and price I,m willing to spend.... Could I came close to specs with the motor I have ? and Cost?

I should been in the garage sanding , but cant seem to put down my coffee and get to it...

Why not purchase all the components seperate...this way youcan buy the cam, heads, pistons of your choice, then assemble.
