That is possible, but I am going to have the best of both worlds with boost and high compression ratio made possible by intercooling and water mist injection.

NV4500s are rare, I wouldn't mind having one, but I dont think it will happen.
The SBC, BBC, LSx, I6, 4.3L, 6.2L-6.5L and duramax all share the same bolt pattern. (those are just the ones I know about)

Water mist injection will lower EGTs by up to 300'F intake temps will show over 100'F reduction depending on starting air temps and how much water I can dump in.
