I'd be very interested in helping you out. What kind of HP are you talking about ? Budget ? I would have it dynoed before it was sent to you as a recommendation. Blo thru carbs are not as easy as a normal carb. You do need a good understanding of them. It would probably be easier that way for you that way you drop it in and maybe make a jet change when it's in the car.
Sounds interesting. Iam looking for a paxton charged smallblock, that is buildt to last. Iam thinking, 450-550hp, somthing like that. Idont understand what you mean by jet cahnge, jets in the carb? I looked at your web site, you got many interesting projects there..

Thanx. Sorry, been really busy last few days. Stay on the phone for the first 3hrs at work, then work 3 hrs late.
Yes, I mean a jet change in the carb. I usually dyno the Motor/carb and get the fuel curve right. Once it comes off the dyno, jet up a few jets. Sometimes the dyno doesn't load the motor enough. If it loads the motor more while it's in the car, the motor can lean out and hurt itself.
Building it for 400 to even 800ish is fairly easy. 550 won't last for ever though without a real block (Aftermarket).You have a much more realistic chance with that power level with a 351w though.It may grunt a little, but she should be fine.
Do you have any parts at all or are you needing to build it from scratch ?
