Its really hard to answer unless you have a good idea what you wanna spend on it. putting a charger on it will change some things as opposed to not running one so you'll wanna know for sure if its going on there or not as to avoid re-buying parts

Have you thought of putting on a Turbo? building a Engine for superchangering can easily climb in to the thousands if not tens of thousands,I've also read and talked to some builders who've told me super changed engines have no real life span I may be wrong if so please correct me.
I've see on other sites and forums where people have put Turbos and even dual turbos gives the engine to my understanding a much much longer life span and more power then most would know what to do with it.. Just a idea what ever you decide on doing post lots of Pics.
This is a monster set up but it shows it can be done this one is a 71 I think.

Banks Power, Hooker, and many others make headers for 460's. Look on bankspower.com or summitracing.com and you can find some.
