M1 intake (so that the blower can't blow out the belly pan) and
strengthen the bottom end (rods, crank). And don't forget about your
transmission - it may be more susceptible to having a problem with that
extra power going in too. I'm sure other things as well.

Probably, but remember it's bang for the buck. Total bang will be
higher with the blower; a stock 360 does about 245 HP/345 ft-lbs, with
some aftermarket parts that'll of course be a little higher.
You may want to check with The Fastman on this as well.
