Default Building the bottom end

I'm looking to build an new engine for the 'stang this winter and wanted to get some ideas on building the bottom end to handle what I want. The 'stang is a '66 with the original 289 although I have access to 302's and 5.0's also. I plan to build the engine naturally aspirated for now and then add a centrifigal supercharger to it later. After I add the supercharger, I'd lke to produce something like 500 to 600 hp. My shift rpm's would be about 6500 the way the rest of the car is set up.
My question is how I should build the bottom end for this. Would I be able to use a stock crank? What rods are enough?(I have access to some 5.09 cat h-beam rods for cheap) and etc.? Would I be better off going with a stroker ( I drive the car often so I doubt I want a 347 with the oil control and wear problems)? Thanks for any help,
-Brian
