408 ls twin mp70 build.....
so all in planning stages, sorry for those hoping for pictures. plan to be a twin mp70, a/a intercooled, 317heads, truck intake, home made headers, etc... uh 800hp goal. basically stuck off step one, with which rotating assembly to use. forged of course, really want to go the callies/compstar/wiseco path but hey, money talks.
just wondering what people are using for their setups. this is my first trial run in forced induction, but super stoked for it!! so far all ive got is an iron lq9 block.

budgets open, this is my dream build and im only doing it once. i get the "just go single" a lot, but im pretty dead set on the twin build, just always wanted to for many reasons. dont mind spending the money as i want it all to be right. just looking to build myself a shortblock right now. piece by piece this trucks gonna take me some years to build.

Cool. I would talk to an engine builder like LME and they can tell you what you need. 800 isnt all that much so you wont need a crazy shortblock. Id say callies 4in crank, lunati rods, uncoated 4.030 wiseco pistons, good bearings and rings and arp hardware. A good set of ported heads like AFR. Of course if you go with an aluminum ls3 block the bore will be 4.06 and save a little weight. TFS 235 heads with 1/2 head studs and ls9 gaskets will be a great start.
