Talk to apache about the blower. He has that front engine dragster, blower would be eau cool on it. I've been 147 in that car, and it's just a 355. How much you want for the blower?
I don't think I'll sell the blower by itself. I do intend to rebuild my old motor and put it out there for sale. It'll make somebody a rockin street motor.

Dart 540, Callies crank & rods, JE pistons (Shafiroff shortblock)
Dart heads, Bullet 4/7 swap, .755 Lift / 279 Dur @ .050, Isky solid rollers, Manton pushrods & Jessel Rockers

Hampton 871 blower, BDS comp intake, remote thermostat
Kinsler 16-injector plate (2 stages of 8 x 48 lb injectors), 2 x Accufab throttle bodies
Holley Dominator ECU, Holley SmartCoils w/ LS2 style ignition harness
ATI supercharger torque converter - will mate to my current TH400 w/trans-brake

I'm still working on a cam sync and crank trigger solution and have been hung-up on this step for the last 3 months. I didn't find anything on the market that I really liked for a cam sync on this old school big block so I'm working on hanging dual HE sensors (cam sync & crank trigger) through my Comp Cams upper timing cover plate. I designed and had made (CNC) the new dual sync plate that mounts on the upper timing gear but lacking a milling machine it's damn hard to get the precision needed to precisely index the sensor placement. Given the cam plate rotation actually represents 720 degrees, each degree of crank timing is approximately .014 of travel for my crank trigger magnets. I'm getting close but I'm not quite there yet. Look at the other post I just added - I supplied a photo of my current sensor plate mockup.
