looking for someone with turbo knowledge to lead me in the right direction.

theturboforums.com You can find pretty much anything over there. You can meet your goals with a single 88. Carb / or efi? Intercooled? A/w or A/a? What type of fuel do you want to run?

Gonna take at least 1,000 at the wheels to get that done. Not impossible, but i would go with an aftermarket block and at least the 4.125 or 4.155 bore.

What displacement do those get me.
My plan is a Dart block; Eagle crank, H-beam rods dont know which ones yet and pistons around 8.5 or 9 to 1
Should it be a mechanical or a roller?

With a 4.155 and 3.48 stroke your 377.
3.75 stroke you are 406.
3.875 is 414
and lastly 4.0 stroke is 434.

with a turbo you can really cut down on the stroke. Personally I wouldn't go over the 3.875, but that is personal preference, and i have my own theories and ideas, I'm not saying that it is a rule, and I'm not saying more stroke can't/won't make more power.

I'd go with a solid roller.
