that built rear looks like it is exactly matched for your probable output IMO... nice going.
i don't know if 42#ers will be enough for your projected output, but the pump should be fine. i have a formula from ford when i get back to cali i can plug your info in and get what size fuel items you need if you want.
have you started mocking the motor up and seeing if that adapter plate/intake/blower all play well together?
and what are you going to do about tranny, i haven't seen anything mentioned? even a HD t5 will def. not last with that kind of power. the only "low cost" option i see is a tko 500 or similar and somehow getting a slightly used one on the cheap.
good luck with the work, it seems like a fun plan.

Theirs a guy putting down 700+ on the 3.8L block, we haven't reached the limit yet.
