Yes a "smog" motor usually does make a good blower motor. You might want to go thru it though just to make sure it's mechanically sound.
As far as longevity goes if you keep the boost light I'd think you should be fine. However if you plan on flogging it more than just every now and then then you may want to beef up the insides.

The race scene in L A sucks but Irwindale has an 1/8th mile. I just want to be faster than the diesels ...
