Default Will this motor handle boost?

Would this build handle boost/turbo? Ive heard stock 360s handle pretty decent psi around 16 stock. So would this be fine and what psi you think would be safe? Trying to push the most power possible on a budget. I know the carb would need changed but would anything else NEED Upgraded? And yes this is going into a 2nd gen dodge ram.




Crank- Slightly better then stock that is all i know
Rods- Also Unknown but not stock
Pistons- 0.60 over hypertonic
Cam- 1.6 Valve Lift. Int .549 Exh .571 Duration 230,237 LSA 110
Elderbrock Performer RPM 6077 https://www.edelbrock.com/rpm-small-...cam-60775.html
Springs- Build to match cam
Rockers- CraneCams 69-1.50 B -10
Elderbrock RPM Air Gap Intake
Holley 750 Cfm 4 Barrel Double Pumper with a eletric Choke
10:1 Compression I believe id have to recheck

They used to have a separate page for it but they changed the site.

I would go more than 7 lbs or so, on a mostly stock engine. The magnum bottom end may be stout, but, the heads suck.

Well they aren’t stock. Nothing is read parts list at the top^ what do you think I can run on those parts. It’s under the picture
it’s also not a magnum. It’s a 360 Mopar La out of order style truck. No clue exactly what truck but it’s carbureted 360 mopar

Too much compression. I'd pull it down and find out EXACTLY what parts you have, ring gap, etc.

Well the rods and crank has no markings off what it is. The motor has been tourn down but no markings on the rods or crank just have to go off of what the guy i bought it off of said. I know the ring gap. What compression should i run for boost?
