Well i just got a powerbond balancer so the motor will be going in no worries. All honesty I am starting to sway away from playing with fire, I have asked a few blokes about a standard bottom end with the sort of power i am chasing and i can say that im more worried than skeptical. A few opportunities have popped up for me, so my priorities have changed. I am looking to get a place of my own and im tossing up getting power of a weak block 5ltr and a near bulletproof 360 cube (5.9L) motor. its a no brainer in my opinion, especially in the cars they are in (EF vs Panel van). But i will say that i may hold on to the blower and "light the wick" if i do ever feel the need. It seems a shame, but i have had to step back and re-assess the situation, financially and logically. I dont have many points left on my licence, i more than likely need to pay attention to the diff, the box will be near on its limits too. but you never know.

Just dont push it past the limits and cruz the thing, trust me dont let it sit there as it will sit for ages and u will probably get sick of it.

ive got a nice man o war 8.2 371 block sitting here for sale wich would love boost and whatever else u throw at it.
or u could stick with ur original plan and run low boost and revs, bpt reckons its the revs that kill them. or u could stroke the 5.0 and run the 165,s on it . will b hell tourquey. |

but it will be blowerless. I do feel alot of the car will be on its limits, the diff wont take too much more and im not prepared to rebuild a diff, motor as well. Keeping the revs down and taking it easy isnt my style either, I love frying a set of tyres as much as anyone here, its like an alco realising their problem. 
Will be in touch Jeff.
