Default Engine Finally gave in, need advice

Car is heads/cam/full exhaust/built tranny with best parts , 3600 stall with 3.90 gears, and A&A Supercharger V3 self containing that has been on the car for 10 years running 7.5 boost, Ported polished dual spring heads milled for extra compression that were put on the car 12 years ago. Engine seized and is toast, not sure how bad it is inside it, I don't know if i want boost anymore, i am happy with 525-575 rwhp on motor, this is the 383 CID setup texas speed is suggesting:
If i want to put the blower on it, i am assuming it is easier while the engine is out than later?
