Advice on a cheap budget 355 induction set-up

Hey I finially made up my mind. After thinking about a supercharged 396 stroker then a 383 stroker. I decided to go with a 355 build up with forced induction. I want to save any money I can. So stock internal parts I can use that would be great. I want to go with a procharger with 12 psi boost. I'm having a 355 built up. What can I use stock internal wise and what do I need to get to handle that type of boost. I plain on getting a nice blower cam and some good heads. - Please let me know. Also what horsepower should I be making.

From just the internals stand point, If you wanted to go realy budget, you could reuse the stock crank, reuse stock rods and then invest in some good forged pistons. Another way is reuse the stock crank again, invest in some I Beams, Eagle has a set, not that much and then go and get some good pistons. For 12lbs that should be adequate.

I'd say the same as neil350, except add ARP rod bolts and ARP main bolts. ARP main studs would be better, but require an align hone.

I have a set of Wiseco forged blower-pistons for sale. Have you had your block machined yet? I know they're not a stock part, but ... something to think about. They had about 11K miles on them if memory serves me correct.
