Default Blew motor. Will this one work.

Spun a rod bearing and bent pushrods. Found a 454 stroked to a 496. Aluminum heads 112 degree lobe seperation. 575 hp/600tq forged internals. 4 bolt main. Will be run in fresh water only. I have a xr outdrive. Also what prop should I start with on ghis setup? Have a 29 x14.5 4 blade cleaver and a 25 x14.5 3 blade mirage. Thanks for your help. The motor is not marine but everything around it will be.
