for a twin setup T-61's or T62-1's would work for 10 to 20 psi. How much power you trying to make?

I think the parts mentioned could EASILY make 1000 hp at the flywheel.

That big block is going to move alot of air with them heads, and the low compression and forged internals will take alot of boost so i`d go with somthing that will support the motor if you decide to crank the boost them world blocks will take a lot of punishment. so IMO you should be able to push up to 30PSI to that motor. I`d go with at least a pair of precision T72s. but thats just my opinion.

with the cam you need a cam with fast open and closing ramps to keep from bleeding off boost with a turbo so a roller cam is definatly in your future if you want to go all out power.

Heh definitely, you're going to need one big turbo or 2 fairly big turbos to push air into that beast to make power. Single 106mm turbo would be lovely. 2000+ horsepower anyone? =P
