RE: boys and their toys......

Congrats on the new crank! I did the same thing, took a 428 crank and used the L2291F forged pistons and had them cut down to about zero deck. I had the whole thing balanced and used a new Mcleod flywheel. I had the pistons measured and was told it had just over 1/2" material at the lowest point from the underside, so trimming off .1 wasn't a bad deal.
I used a 60 over 390 block because I couldn't find a good condition/ fair price 428 block and didn't want to waste a new set of pistons.
As a side note, my cranking compression is about 195~200 and that's with 80cc heads. With a blower, I think you would want the CR to be about 8~8.5 or so, make sure you take this into account before you write the check!

Hampton Blowers makes FE blower intakes that might be worth looking at, http://hamptonblowers.com
$775 is a bit high, but it might be a better design.
This thread, so far...
