Bob, there wouldn't be much difference in the parts selection for something like that. I would probably suggest that the customer upgrade to ARP main studs and a forged crank, just in case they got a wild hair and stuck a smaller pulley on the blower down the road.

The pistons would still be forged of course, but they'd have a large dish in them to aim for about 8:1-8.5 SCR. The camshaft would also dictate lobes suited for forced induction.

For a carbureted blower setup, I would look for something like a roots blower, so that the carb doesn't have to be blow-through.
