Looks like the 427 Tall Deck Truck block will be good enough.

I would like to run a water/air intercooler under the 8-71, but I hear you can lose 1-6 LBs of boost, does the cooler air offset this loss?

Using E-85 as fuel, & a water/air intercooler could I run a higher Static CR ( not the usual 6-8.25:1 CR) like 10.25-11.25:1?

your runing a very low cr and making it up with boost=heat =loss of power the way i have built them is start at 9to1 or abit more and then add boost to that starting at 7to1 is way to low and the 1-6? of boost who cares ?? your loosing moreHP spining the bigger blower you may see cooler intake charge but like i said i ran the smaller blowers on big engines a lined 871 will do the job very good .. so less its all out drag car your looking at a way i never did. i built about 12 or more blower engines and they all worked very good i can give you a ride in a car that makes low boost and runs very good like blows the tires off at 100
