you are asking for a lot to handle 8-12 pounds of boost, I agree with some of the other members here about getting quality parts. for 425-500hp I would start with a steel crank, and good rods. You can make 425-500hp boosted with a 306 and it will be daily driver.

You might be able to get away with a cast steel crank, and good bottom end, I would give Coast High Performance, Ford Performance Solutions, and a few others a call and lay out to them what you have planned.

If a engine building shop can't get you on the right path then no one can.
