174/177 supercharged small block, where to start?

Very cool! What sort of problems have you had? Which size blower do you have? The gentleman selling the unit on ebay isnt sure which one he has, 144, or 162...Is there a way to tell, by blower case measurements? the only numbers he can find are: C1A59 & 12902.

Thanks for the info thus far, everyone.

Actually I've had very little trouble. The only problem I've had is the seal behind the pulley popped out on me and got lube all over the place. I replaced it and haven't had any further issues. The blower is a 174 and the intake is a modified Offenhauser dual quad that had the supercharger flange welded in place of the original flange by Dick Landy himself (actually got to talk to him in 1988 when I bought the blower from him for $2200.00). The good thing about this setup is I got the bigger 174 case blower for the small block, the bad thing is that the manifold is not a low profile like the original, hense the fiberglass sixpack hood.
