Jack is exactly correct, as usual.

Also was the feature/cover car in Hot Rod Magazine a couple of months ago. I saw it at Bonneville Speed Week and it is maybe my all-time favorite rat rod.

Any thing cam be made if you have enough money. I'm following a similar path as you with my 52 327 and I don't have all the details worked out as yet. Supercharging can make BIG increases in power somewhere around 7 psi of boot should give you roughly 50% more power and 14 psi should double you naturally aspirated output but again you would need a very good bottom end to support that, very accurate balancing, main studs, custom forged pistons and rods would be a must and you would very likely have to mod the oiling system. Good luck with your project and if you have any questions on where to find parts or want to check out what i'm doing to hot rod mine feel free to message me
