I think a 454 and 8v71 blower should be plenty 
it'll be pushing plenty of power that's for sure

Ive seen a classic RR with a Detroit 6V92 grafted in, 9 ltr supercharged 2 stroke 1000nm,
sounded nice too. so there is always scope to go bigger.

But the butcher has ways of finding these things

Got the engine. About 3 hours out from home now but it's a monster! Ported heads, high torque cam, full gasket set with new bolts too. All I need is a set of piston rings and it can go together next weekend if I have time

Some preliminary pics are uploading now, its dark out so they're a bit **** but you can see the extensive head porting.
Heads have been rebuilt with new valves and springs, just needs a quick clean up as theres a bit of dust/surface rust

Flash seems to have exaggerated the surface rust, its no where near as bad as it looks. The blower is actually polished but some #### painted it orange then silver so I'll be taking a flap disc on a drill to it
