The 177 blower will work but the belt set up makes me nervous.
I would save your money and buy a 6-71 for a few hundred more.

I couldn't agree more. Bang for the buck, you'll get better results with the 6-71.

Erik's right about the rods. If your budget allows, I'd buy a top notch steel rod and a good piston no matter what you do. Along /w those aluminum heads, a tougher piston and a stout rod will help any detonation problems because your motor won't go to pieces at the first sign of trouble.

I heard a good quote in the snap-on thread "Buy quality, and you'll only cry once"
This goes for almost everything
