A TKO-600 has a lower 1st gear, that seems it would be a good upgrade for the money. Won't be able to do it for $2k, but you're pretty close. Maybe just save a little longer?
You can leave current engine intact and grab a better block for a better build down the road as another option.
The 2 biggest things that stress 557s is stroke & slicks. But in general, they are usually good to @ 500hp. Still, personally, I wouldn't throw money at it and just build something else.
Tax returns are right around the corner....
