Unlikely either will hold.

They don’t with NA cam/headers.

Then there is the driveshaft issue.....

It’s not going to be cheap, I got about 10,000 into my truck and that still don’t include the turbo kit.

50mm’s are usually good for the 300-350whp range but on mid teen boost levels. You would definitely need two of them for it to work right on a small block. I ran a single hx35 holset on a 5.0 ford motor and it would peak torque at like 42-4400 rpm because the hot side wasn’t big enough for the engine. Fine for the truck it was in but made 236/339 to the tires on 7lbs.
