Nice plan  If you´re going to add ProCharger to it, you should remember that you go enough low CR with it. It should be something 8.0-9.5:1 when super- or turbocharged if you want to have engine which works properly  I quess you knew this but I just wanted to remember you if you´re going to copy that build that you linked. I don´t know what CR is there used, but I assume it is something 10:1 or higher

i thought about that, id like to still be able to run pump gas as this car will mostly be a cruiser

Hemi  It works better than charged engine

im leaning towards that now. Would it be better to just buy a mopar crate motor or have a engine built? i had a GM 502 crate motor and it was a piece of junk so im a little hesitant about the crate motor route

Don´t know, last summer I had 383cid stroker engine built to my Paxton Supercharged Camaro and it was piece of junk  It broked when we was breaking in new cam, water and oil get mixed  But that block where it was builded was bad, so, with new block I think we wouldn´t have problems  Old block is always risk if not checked good before building 

I just remember that then I decided that if I ever going to swap engine to any my car, I´ll buy ready crate engine  Or then I´ll build engine myself, that was a mistake to have it build with "cheap" mechanic who didn´t rather to find good block before building
