Are there any roots blown FE examples to study and learn from out there?
 Nothing too crazy in mind- 8-71, iron block, iron LR heads with forged internals burning alcohol.

   I guess my questions would be what makes a "blower carb" what it is? Is lift not as important as spring pressure with boost or is overlap the factor to start with? Would titanium exhaust valves be worth it for heat resistance?

Just sharing a FB post of SOHC parts in Spokane-

     Not sure why I didn't line out this deal while I was lurking and asking for advice when this project started but here goes-

   Engine thread here:
    http://fepower.net/simplemachinesforum/index.php?topic=7166.0

  C7 390 block, 40 over 2291Fs on 390 rods with ARP, C1 crank, C8AE-H heads with SI stainless valves touched up with cartridge rolls, Clevite bearings, Comp XE274 cam, lifter and pushrods, HD rocker shafts with Lykins rockers and Survival shaft stands and ARP studs.

  C6 with a kit, extra deep aluminum pan and Derale cooler

  9" with 31 spline Mosers, Trac-lok and 4.10s

  Disc brakes all around and a line lock just because

    Lots of pics....

 Hello all,

    Been lurking here for a while and wanted to share and hear your invaluable input! Please have a read, fire your questions at me and help me fix my bad decisions. Any input is greatly appreciated!

   I have a C7ME-A block bored 40 over, Speed-Pro 2291F pistons on recon'd 390 rods with ARP bolts, C1AE-A crank, rebuilt C8AE-H heads with factory sized SI stainless valves. I chose a Comp Cams XE274H with matched springs and lifters. Pushrods are Comp Cams 9.621 length with Melling heavy duty rocker shafts and stock non-adjustable rockers. I put ARP fasteners on everything, top to bottom, front to back. I had the entire rotating assembly fully balance and have a Pro Products balancer. For intake I have a Denny Aldridge ported Edelbrock Streetmaster with a 1" 4-hole spacer running a 770 Quick Fuel vacuum secondary carb.

   Transmission is a C6 with a Hughes 2500 stall, large external Derale cooler and extra deep trans pan.

   This whole crazy combo is for my '65 F100 with a 9" axle that needs to open diff replaced and re-geared once I know the engine and trans are happy. At the end of the day, I wanted to build a solid cruiser with a nasty idle, decent reliable power and something fun to drive.
