Default 396 build

hi everyone i have a 396 from a 69 chevelle.. tore it down to the block and had it sent off to get honed bored blueprinted etc... just got it back and now im looking to build it up... i'd really like to keep it n/a so im hoping to get a stroker kit and have at it... i can't find a decent kit for it though, block was bored .060 over... im hoping to stroke it to a 427...if any one has any idea where i can get a decent rotating assembly im all ears... i need the crankshaft rods pistons rings bearings cam gaskets oil pump and pickup... im going to convert it to a roller rocker and am going to keep the stock heads that are being ported as i type... just can't seem to get any recommendations that have been tried... hoping to make 500hp at the rear wheels.. thanks

You should be able to contact the shop that did the bore, and get the specs you'll need. In fact, they should have provided them when you picked it up.
