What do you guys think

I have finally sold the K5 i had (body only) and am now going to do the small block that was in it. It's a crate engine '73 model 4 bolt main, with about 30K miles on it. If that! Wife drove it so not very hard on it at all.
I am looking at just putting a prostreet supercharger on it and having the heads done (or buying a set of AFRs). More of a street truck until the BB monster is built. Is this block actually worthy of doing anything to it or just the simple supercharger ok for it?

I know pistons may let loose someday but that's why the BB is getting built. Your help is greatly appreciated

you're going to need low compression, if you want to run any decent amount of boost.
