How nasty would it be to build a smallblock 350 (i've got an L98) to run boost?

I'm assuming that i would need to go with a forged V8 crank and hardened pistons, but do not know for sure. What all is involved to run say...8 psi or so on an L98?

(i've just rebuilt it with zero miles as of now, with stock crank and hyper pistons...this would be a near future modification, if i decide to run with it)

 

There are guys running that much boost on stock motors, although some dont last long.

Esp. if you are intercooled, but even if you arent, you could probably just get low compression forged pistons and last for awhile. The forged pistons are nearly a must compared to trusting hyperucraptics with boost.

PM or forged rods are good and a forged crank would be a nice to have, but not "neccessary" in all cases.

Its all going to depend on how long you want it to last, how much power you want to make, and how much $ you want to spend (cubic dollars as i have heard rich krause call it)

 

why are you asking such stupid questions if you know so much so you did a stock rebuild. thats what is so fast that your going to beat me hands down whatever but anyways hope you do get a blower it still wont help you i will find you crap talker and when we run em it aint gonna be pretty. but if you really want to make that car scream why dont you give us a call we can do better than you'd be able to anyday

 

ok, thanks. looks like i'll be runnining natural asp for a while. I have a local dude here that has a beautiful shop for doing alum-silicon internals, i think i might have a chat with him sometime soon, and get back to you! Haha.
