Default Block upgrades required to run 500 + bhp

Currently running just over 400bhp on a pretty much standard 200 block but my turbo is maxed out so was looking to go bigger which would mean I can run more power but what upgrades would I need to do to the block internals to give me peace of mind that it's not going to blowup if I pushed it up to 500 + bhp.

Block is currently .5 over bored so would I also need to have liners fitted ?
car is 2wd so not looking for massive power as don't see the point in spending loads to handle loads more power than is possible to use in a 2wd sapphire.

already running modern aftermarket management so the engine control side of things is covered.
