there are a few in the build at the moment, if your on facebook check out the ''hot sixes'' page
i have a blower setup but cant really help with info on snout length as it uses a bit of a frankenstein manifold. it would probably be best to but a complete kit from somewhere like fisher superchargers, or try to pick up a complete used kit

Just stand back and look at that blower and the size of the motor.
It's ridiculous running something that big on a belt off that donk.
And a good turbo set-up will eat it for breakfast.
Never nind the laws regarding engine parts protruding through the bonnet.
Sorry for bringing commonsense into the equation.

I agree entirely, and every point is logical and sensible.
But I'm not sure that discreet efficiency was ever the goal in this case, and sometimes the appeal of a project is in its sheer silliness.

Yep, supercharges have their own fun like, grunt all the time, a whining belt, the look sitting out of the bonnet esp with twin 500 holleys and a petrol guzzler. Dave I
p.s. MR CHEV did these bolt on superchargers 30 year ago and now the superchargers have evolved to Centrifugal Superchargers pictured:-
