Default blown motor questions

Hey im new here and need advice on parts for my project truck. I have a stock '91 3/4 ton and it blew up last week right when it turned over 200000 literally! I want to build the motor to 500+ hp but I am on a limited budget and would like sugesstions on parts to use to get my motor where i want it. The block, crank and head are salvagable, and i beleive the high pressure pump is ok. Any advice would be helpful, thanks.

i dont think its very doable going for 500 horsepower on a ve motor and a 6500 dollar budget but thats just me. its doable with a p pump engine but most people struggle to get 400 hp out of a ve pump. unless you got massive machining skills that you can do for free i think its kind of a long shot. considering its going to cost you 5K just to rebuild the engine stock unless you can do it all yourself than your looking around 3K
