If you're truly serious about doing this in such a short period of time then the best you could do is start at the top. Get the built 3.0 and start with that. Build the 3.0 and put worked Taurus heads on it. Talk to SHO-shop about rebuilding/extrude honing heads. Drop that in and contact Hightower/Haines/TDC for a turbo kit. You probably won't be able to use the MSDS headers with a turbo kit. Twin turbo anyway, if using a single turbo from what I can tell the turbo will be so far away from the intake that turbo lag will be phenomenal. I'd recommend doing the vortech. They can get crazy with their S/C's. I've seen a prepped 4.6 DOHC Cobra with 400 hp before the Vortech T-trim and slightly more than 800 hp after.
I feel the best route, if you're financially stable, is to start at the meat of the project which is the block. Jon Yates didn't build an 1100 hp 302 by starting with throttle bodies.
