paxton on a 460?

I'm thinking about fitting a SN89 6psi boost supercharger(from a mustang 5.0) on my 460 ford. The heads I have is the D3VA, so because of the 92 cc comb. chambers the compression ratio would be good for this setup.As for the carburator I'm planning to use a 750 Holley w/ vac secundaries. The intake would be a Edl. Performer.What cam can I use for this setup? The car will be used for the street. Not for pulling or so.
I'm planning to use the stock 460 pistons, as because engine won't rev past 5500rpm. What else should I have to do to the engine to accept this?
Please help.
Thanks , Jack

sounds cool, but i dont know if the larger-displacement engine will allow the sn-89 to build 6 psi. you might have to change pulleys, but dont know for sure. Call paxton, they will know

btw, the 750 carb is too small for a mild 460, get a 850 or even larger to make the best hp. I saw a webpage where they built a 9:1 460, that started hp @ 440 or so, then changed from a 750 to a 850 and picked up 50 some horsepower at 5500
