The Blower Shop, BDS, Littlefield are the three I would be looking at. TBS and BDS will have complete kits you can look at. Blower size will depend on how much power you want to make but for 460ci @ 5500, you can make 750+hp on pump gas with less than 10# boost pretty easily with an 871 and a pair of 850's. 700 hp observed, not corrected, will turn a AA impeller about 5700 rpm. I would go with a hydraulic roller and you'll need flow numbers from the heads. Compression; I would keep around 8.0:1. If you can afford an intercooler, that would help, but on the BB Ford it makes a very tall package. Make sure the engine is built with marine use in mind. You want a little more piston to wall clearance and a little more valve guide clearance, and you'll want to use good quality parts throughout. Stock crank may be OK, but forged would certainly be better. H beam rods, good pistons and rings (no Hellfires) and good valve train with quality valves and rockers. The most important thing will be the machine work and block finishing.

see, there is good tech in here..

ill be moving to az where the engine will be built and ran im definatly impressed at the replys esp scot tvm ill definatly follow that advice especialy on the crank. will post pics as i start from the block .lord send me money lol

What impeller and housing ...?
The SMALLEST unit to even consider using is an aftermarket 8-71 with any engine of 460 cubes or bigger.

No matter what crank you use, have it machined for dual keyways and same with your balancer/hub.
A blower has a way of tearing up the crank snout when all that stuff works its way loose from all the tugging, yanking, and pulling on it!!
