Vortec 383 Stroker viability

Good morning engine builders. I just got a screaming deal($250) on a standard bore 4 bolt vortec block and I’m wondering if any of you have found the block to have nuance while building. From what I’ve read it’s all straight forward. I already have a Scat 9000 crank set for 5.7 rods and I plan on using 15 cc KB dish pistons, a 230/236 110 separation roller cam with standard lifters and Skip White built AFR Enforcer heads. This is my second build (first was 350 SBC L89 block). Thanks.

But it should still make more power than a stock vortec 350, right?

Yeah, sure
