I hate to admit it but most of these modifications are trail and error. Thats like my computer controlled alky injection, no one had tried it before I dreamed it up. Just like making the Dodge Ram blower fit my truck, lol.

Does it look like he needs more "wrap" around the alternator to you?
I was looking at the belt path and was wondering if he's going to get too much slip on the alternator.
However, there is nothing as "I mean business" looking as having a roots style super-charger bolted to the top of your engine. I love the overall look of that and wish him tons of luck in getting it to work. Did he replace the intake manifold as well (I thought I read ours were made from a polymer so was wondering if they could hold up to the extra pressure and heat.)

think that supercharger fit ours?? i mean the older 4.7 are similar in design correct?? what about older superchargers has anyone looked into if they might pop on? i mean they might be older but still the power gains and who knows another v8 could be a match to ours?
