Default Blown 351 cleavor

I have a SVC with a 351 cleavor (351 winsor block cleveland heads). Engine seized up after 1100 miles. Rod bearings spun, and machine shop said it was getting too much fuel which caused the melt down. Pulled the plugs and they were a perfect cardboard brown, no carbon build up. My dilemma is what to do next. The crank was to badly scored to use so do I put it back together the same or stroke it to a 38? or 409, the guy I purchased the car from claimed 470 hp. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.
