alright, looking to supercharge the motor....hopefully,

so im looking for a short block set up, with forged pistons and rods
and good compression

and preferable under 2k......

anyone know a good one?
found like 2 or 3 but, looking for people with off brand known short blocks...

thanks

also.....if i need a special manifold for my vortec heads,.... will i need a special one for a supercharger when i get to it?

I'm going to go with the weiand 6-71 kit myself when I get to that stage in my build. I'd dump the vortec heads for a set of Edelbrock performer rpm 64cc to 70cc heads ... I've never thought much of vortec myself. If your going to add a supercharger to a SBC for street use, you'll be able to pump in all the performance you need without changing much ( im going with 2 600 cfm dbl pumps)...other then tuning it...changing the intake manifold to accept the blower.same for the cam and all that good stuff. You just need to make sure no one componet in the intake or exhaust systems fights the supercharger by overly constricting airflow either into or out of the cylinders.
High compression 10-1 or 12 -1 ( normally aspirated) performance engine, adding a blower to this will literally blow the engine due to excessively high cylinder pressure. So 8 -1 or 9-1 is what you want for compression.

I do agree.... you looking at like 8 to 10 g's for this build.

heres an all forged 383 short block that a member on here got and had very good luck here it its only 2400
http://www.nyesautomotive.net/SBC_350_383__RS.html
and it has eagle components

its not getting charged right away

but that is in the future and i know it will exceed the budget.... just looking for a nice low compression forged short block for now

Ohiocrank has a 388 for $2500 and Golen has a 383 for $2900, a little more than $2k but not too bad for forged pistons and rods.

Whatever you buy I'd advise specifying that the crank has double keyways if you plan on supercharging.

think i would be better off going non forged and just a better normal styled short block? and forget the supercharger?

im trying to make some good power
