Forged internals at the very least. I read another thread where someone said that they used the stock lightning gasket between the S/C and the manifold on their roush setup on a 3v, so logically it would make sense that you can put any lightning upgrade blower on the roush manifold on the 3v engine. You may have to change the snout length because the roush manifold places the charger farther back than the lightning does. If you get a whipple 3.4 for the L with the GT 500 plenum and TB instead of the L plenum and have a custom snout length put on it you should be able to get 750 crank hp on a 3v with the right tune. Basically the 4 major things you will need, forged internals, roush manifold, roush or L pulley setup (bridge) and lower pulley, and a whipple 3.4. I'm guessing that all can be had for under 10K. Now a 3v will not make as much as a gt 500 motor with the same blower and same boost level because 4v heads flow more than 3v heads do, but it will make more than a 2v L motor will.
