Sounds like a real mean combo. Where are you getting the headers from? PAW used to list Chevy headers for AMC/Chevy engine swaps. But I havent seen one of their catalogs in about 4-5 years now so I don't know if they are still available. With the blower drive ratio how many pounds of boost do you think you will run? There is nothing for visual or sound effect as the look of a blower and the wine of it on a tubbed car. Is there any clearance problems between the blower and the distributer and the firewall. I was told but never saw first hand that on a straight carbed SB in a Gremlin Hornet that the wiper motor caused a clearance problem with the distributer?
