blower vs. Supercharger
Mike,
As far I understand it, a Blower and a Super charger are the same animal. Operated by a belt off of the crankshaft. This opposed to a Turbo charger which is driven off of engine exhaust gases.
I have never heard of a blower for an FE, then again I have never searched for one. Sounds interesting.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 21-Oct-02 AT 00:44 AM (EST)]Here's a place for the manifolds, but I know I've seen the same thing cheaper -- maybe around $550 on a different website

Yup, I leap before I look, too. That's why almost all of my posts have the red "last edited" text on the top. ;-)
True, that's only for the manifold. Add to that, between $400 and $800 for a good used 6-71 roots blower, another several hundred for drive sprockets, tensioner, distributor modification/relocation, and the adapter to put the carb(s) on top of the blower, and it gets expensive fast. And we've not even covered intercoolers (aftercoolers), new radiator, or bottom end mods.
I've thought about it a lot for mine. There aren't many things cooler than a 6-71 popping out of your hood. But, for now, given the expenses, I'm sticking to conventional mods (carb, cam, headers, etc.) Maybe someday? ;-)

Hey, 1Quick75,
That was an interesting link that describes a low-cost 390 stroker.
Was there another one that shows the blower setup?
