If you keep the boost low (sub 5-6) PSI, and you don't get any detonation/knock, it stands a chance of lasting for awhile.

The vast majority that do what you are contemplating end up ruining the motor. They all say the same thing in the beginning too, "I'll keep the boost low, it'll be fine." Eventually, they get a bad tank of gas, get greedy with the boost, or the motor just lets go.

However, if you aren't adverse to building a motor, I think you should go for it.

You might consider a 355 instead of the 383 for forced induction. It's easier to keep the wrist pin out of the ring pack, I think the piston speeds are better, etc... Just run 2 more PSI of boost to make up for the power difference between the 355 and the 383.
