Looking to build a small block pro charger motor. What block and heads would you use. 59 or 48 lifter bores. First time messing with a small block. Thanks If you are looking to stay with a stock block, look for an E58 coded motor. They came in lots of HD optioned cars - late Magnums, 300's, Squads, Taxi's, some trucks. Magnum blocks would be another option. Don't know what HP you are shooting for - assume 700 max with a D1SC? Sonic testing the cyl. walls for sure. Girdle, forged rotating assembly for sure also. Rosary beads hanging from the rear view mirror - - - - .

if you are looking go Gen 3, its probly better way and more cost effective. just my two cents. Plus they have kits all over the place to procharge or blower style.
Thank you Kiddart

How big are you wanting to do? That is going to determine the deck height you can go with. R3 blocks are around, but it can be slim pickings. Gen III or R5/P7 ,may be a better option.

You should seriously consider the Gen 3 Hemi instead of a small block. Unfortunately the Small Block is pretty much in extinction with lack of parts. Rob Goss's Challenger is the benchmark for a procharged Gen 3. Good aftermarket Blocks an Heads readily available.

Just remember that the 59 degree blocks are not very roller cam friendly beacuse of the pushrod angle's... too much monkey motion. Offset valves/and rockers help quite a bit. Not all roller lifters will work but there is some that work just fine. I have about 2000-2500 miles on a solid roller W2 headed 59* R1 block. I am using some mopar performance/crane roller lifters that clear the R1, comp also makes a lifter with the link bar moved that would work with the 59* R blocks. I think the comp lifter is an 8043-16 but not positive. Going with a G3 would not be a bad idea though.

My roller lifters have been just fine? You don't need a radical cam with boost, mines very mild, it'll idle at 900 rpm pretty easily

Rob Goss is running a solid cast block with Billet heads. The same block is available with water jackets. They certainly broke a lot of parts working out what worked or not.
There are many options here really, a 9.2" or 9.6" deck R3 with a W series head
A Ritter or EEI block with P7 heads
A Gen III Hemi, factory block and heads will get it done. You can can spring for a pair of Thitek heads and Aluminium block from BES
