If the blower doesn't work out for you, the 2X4 setups are pretty common, and with an imaginative fiber glass scopp, it could look wild! You could even hide a large air cleaner inside. An easier "look" would be the scoops that look like the old hilborn upright from the mid sixties, but fit 2X4s.

BTW, You can machine a 454 crank to fit into that block. It becomes a "stroker crank" for the '09. It takes a lot of work, but could boost cubic inches a lot.

Some other parts will interchange from small and big block Chevy's.
yep some stuff can be used from the 454 crank needs some work turn the mains and nose down .stock 396/502 rods can be used .Ross makes a piston for this .i re work his oil pan with a 454 oil pan .they now make valves. and rockers .now for them .someone now may make a low dollar stroker crank ?.were they seamed to hit the wall is the stock heads. and they now make heads for them .guy named waldell ? spelled wrong .he make s alot of stuff for them
