A Big Day!

Hey guys - yesterday was a big day for my project...I stuffed the motor back into the engine bay. I figure I'm still several weeks away from trying to start it up, but this is a huge step!

I got the supercharger off eBay for $1300, and have put another $300 into it (because it was intended to be used in a boat, and there were some differences). I think Camden gets about $2300 for the kit. I'm only looking for about 6 pounds of boost to start with. If all goes well, then I'll get a smaller pulley and crank it up a little.
