An 8-71 is bigger 
So, this is planned on a 383?
It says "cast steel crank", then "forged crankshaft". I'd want to know which it is. I beam 5140 rods are good.
This should be ok with a 6-71. Main thing is, 12cc dish pistons. Watch the CR, using a blower like that you probably want bigger dished pistons to get the CR low enough to use a roots blower like that.
