The hard part will be making the truck work on the freeway unless I adapt an nv4500.
I see no reason why a gas 478 block couldn't handle lots of boost. Mine will only handle 11 pounds or so and I'm not worried at all. With it, came a Clark VO 285 transmission with a .83 overdrive. My cruise RPM at 60 will a little less than 1900 RPM.
