Building a 4.6l

Building a 4.6l
I'm starting to look around for parts to build my 4.6l Windsor engine. I'm gonna be putting supercharger on it eventually (meaning probably in august I'll have the $ for it) so I'm gonna want to lower the compression.
Right now I need to know what are some good companies for pistons, rings, bearings, head gaskets, etc. Everything to build the bottom of the engine. I've been looking at Sean Hyland's webpage at what they offer. Anyone have any reivews of the stuff they sell?
Also, if someone knows a good company that builds a shortblock that would be good.
I also need a forged crankshaft but want to know if the cobra billet crankshaft (8-bolt) can be used in my truck.
Also, I'm sticking w/ the 4.6l. I don't want to upgrade to a 5.4l.

Here's what I've kind of decided on so far.
Manley H-beams
ARP bolts and what not...
Probe Pistons (not sure on compression yet but I want to lower it because I'll be putting some boost on)
Cobra Billet Crank (Still gotta find if it works)
Still need to figure out good rings to get.
Also need a list of everything else that is required to build the bottom and then assemble the rest of the engine.
