Once you've gone boost you won't think so highly of a "bigger" NA engine (a 6.6l is only 6.5% larger). You are going to spend the cost of a whipple to get the Livernois block, , then spend more money on cams, then again what the short block would cost you on head porting for a ~20% hp gain

Put the blower on, run 10psi and make 70% more power over stock, with no big drop in fuel efficiency and no change in low speed drivability. It's a huge win. Your maintenance will be less with a supercharged engine than it will be a stroker engine. Run good filtration and your dust concerns are invalidated.

The Whipples are transparent until you hit the bypass valve threshold, then they feed in. If you hammer it the power is there, its just like having an engine that is 70% larger. Think 10.6l of displacement, beats 6.6l all day every day. And only there when you ask for it.

The Whipple noise is never boring.

Blower power is intoxicating, it is always there, it turns a nice cruising vehicle into something that simply devours a journey.

Damn you @B E N now I want one, proving the old adage, "fuel injection is nice, but I'd rather be blown".

Maybe this one? I was wondering if Jasper had one. Had a Jasper 351 put in my 92 back in the day and it’s still going as my brother is the owner of it now.

That's more than the warrantied shortblock costs direct from Ford. If you don't need the heads I would just go through Ford. Take the heads to your local machine shop for reconditioning, porting if your up for the cost and stick it on the short block. A set of heads is MUCH easier/cheaper to recon than a shortblock is. Even if you have to do valves/seals/keepers/springs/locks its still not crazy, and most shops are perfectly competent at completing valve jobs, guide replacement or whatever else might need done.

There are also always listings on Car-Part.com for super duty short blocks with very low miles. I like working with car-part because they put me in touch with a local vendor, I get warranty on whatever the parts are, and an actual human being. Once your connected to your local guy you have a source.

I looked at the same one last week. Just an FYI - according to the Item Specifics in the listing, those pics are stock images and not the actual motor being purchased. Not saying anything negative about the seller, but I'd want pics of the actual item being purchased before I pulled the trigger.
