Other options available
To go from stock to rocket may be easier if you consider going say with a 3B swap or an AAN. You get the immediate bang even at stock. The headroom is much greater than with that motor. And it's a whole lot easier and cheaper.
By the time you bore it and get the new crank, rods, and pistons you're probably at the cost of a complete 3B

you were going to do standalone in the first place.
and if you go this route you will be forced to get bad *** exhaust manifold, a good intake manifold, and a bigger turbo...
