Supercharged LQ4 on a budget?
Still debating on going EFI BBC or Supercharged LS based for my 1972 Chevelle. Is it possible to build a 402/408 with a Kenne Bell or Maggy for a budget of 10-12k? I found a complete LQ4 for $550 that needs a rebuild that could be a good start. Otherwise I have a complete 99 454 that I'd stroke to a 496. BBC can be done for 8-9k. Thanks!
PS. Not interested in turbo.

There is a little more fab, but a much bigger variety of choices, and, you can keep it out of boost, and keep decent mileage, just a win, win in my opinion. Oh yeah, and, it's free horsepower, no parasitic drag.

Just went through that with my 71 c10. Decided a forged piston 454 with a carb'd ysi would be cooler, and dead nuts simple. Any reason you want to stroke it? Let the blower do the work.
