what do i need to know about rod specs and why do most people not do this?

If you search the web for Dick Landy vw blower you should find all the info you need on the blower set up.
As for a motor, build as big and strong as your budget will allow.
40x35.5 heads will do as you are using forced air, Heads make power so get the best heads you can!
