Spun a bearing today. Options for hop-up

Well, I threw a rod today. At first I thought it was a rocker arm that had backed off (I just finished doing them) and it was the pushrod hitting the valvecover. Nope. This is in my 91 TA Vert with a 350 TPI. Full exhaust and thats about it. What ever option I go with, I dont plan to do anymore. This is my nice weather daily driver. Not my race car. What ever I end up doing, I wont do the other (even in the future unless I get a large sum of money somehow).

Options are :
A) Get a stroker kit. Stroke it to a 383, keeping everything else the way it is with the exception of a converter. Converter will be what ever fits the application.

B) Cam, Intake, Converter. The intake will probably be either a carbbed intake (such as the victor jr) converted to FI or the holley stealth ram (most likely the vic). Cam is going to be the LT4 Hotcam (.525 Lift, dont know other specs). Converter will be what ever fits the application.

Personally I am leaning towards option B. The main restriction on the TPI is the intake followed by the peanut cam and then the heads. Option B fixes 2 of the 3 problems, whereas option A just adds more CI.
