Are you wanting a pic of a FE motor with a blower or anything more specific? I've seen lots of clevelands and 302s with a centrifugal blower (looks similar to a turbo) or are you wanting the roots style twin screw blower sitting on top like a Shelby gt500 mustang?

I don't think there is a roots style blower for the FE anymore.
I think the supercharger makes custom brakets for popular centrifugal blowers on none common motors.
If not there is always the STS turbo. Its not the best set-up, and has 1 minor flaw with the oil return to the motor. Since its dependant on a pump. I would use a seperate tank for the turbo oil.
STS is probily going to be the cheapest by a long shot becouse they offer a universal system, and it doesn't mount to the engine, but rather the exhaust. Factory in some carb work and a new fuel pump I think a creative mechanical type could do it for less then $4000 easily. That is on a single turbo system as dual turbos would be more problematic for little gain.

DYers makes a kit.
Street Strip Roots Supercharger Kits and Blower Repair 471, 671, 871
But at $5000 for just the blower plus another $2000 for the carbs and accessories. Personally I would go turbo go turbo. You'll have more HP, more MPG's, and less money issues.
