[QUOTE="Ryushin, post: 8771802, member: 38551"] Is that the 5.0L Cammer block? I was looking at that a few months ago. From what I was reading it really wasn't set up for supercharged applications and it wasn't that strong enough for something like that. From my research I found that you'll need to sleeve a aluminum block with something like Darton sleeves or go with the 5.0L Boss iron block. Though the Boss block is even heavier than our own iron block. So I think a Teksid and the Darton sleeves is the way to go. I know there will be some teething pains with a new setup. But I don't feel it was the all doom and gloom that I was being told. I know if you increase something beyond the manufactures design, things are going to break. So before upgrading the go fast components, I'm upgrading the stop fast and handling components. Fix the IRS, change out the front suspension to coil overs and a new K-Member that supports the Hellion kit. Upgrade the clutch and transmission. So on and so farth. Make sure all that works. Build the engine and install it. If everything is happy with that, then add the Hellion kit. [/QUOTE]
