That's also the reason why my Pro-charger project is a 465".
I had the block & crank available, and it was a perfect fit for my sheetmetal intake.

.
I couldn't afford to do this if i had to buy everything new,had to pay full price for the stuff i do buy new and didn't have the people helping that i do.This would be a great time for me to give thanks to all of those people.

Without the help of the following companies,none of this would be possible.

Virginia Speed-for all the great deals and a place to work on the car
ATI Performance-for the trans and converter,balancer and flywheel
Marcella Manifolds-for the killer manifold and head work
XtremeOutlaw Chassis-for all the chassis parts
Mick's Performance-badass methanol efi setup
Precision Turbo-killer turbos,wastegates and bov's

The rest of these people have went way out of their way to give me a hand on this.

Brian ***-stays in the evenings and helps do the work-killer fab man
Phil Thomas-the stuff we think up together is plain down scary
Douglas Hahn-thanks for being the smartest guy i know,helps to have this guy in your pocket

Sounds like you have quite the little routine going for you. I was just curious as to whether or not there was anyone else helping you. I appreciate how you are the consultant, designer, and builder. That goes a long way.

Haven't seen this asked so here goes. How much boost will that block take? I'm sure its ridiculous amounts but from the sounds of it you are going to get there. Good luck and awesome build.
