Kudos to Camden!
I bought a Camden supercharger off eBay a couple of weeks ago. It was intended for a boat, so some of the pieces I need are missing or the wrong part. So I called up Camden (actually I called Atkins, since they own Camden). They were VERY helpful...great to deal with!

So they convert the entire car over the surpentine? Thats kind of a nice benefit to the system, no more belt slipage. When I was trying to design my own the belt system was the major headache.

One of the first guys to use the camden was in norhtern Ca. He took a 12a and used 13b rotor housings and modified it. It was extremely quick and reliable. 64mg
i now truly hate you, lol. I have been wanting to run that set up for a long time.
It's much simplier than turbo and has no lag time. It also looks very impressive under the hood. When you get the motor done could you ship it out to me and i will put in myse and tune it for you, lol. You lucky old fart you. rx7doctor

Dude ! Boat Camdens won't ever work on a car because of the sea level angle sensor ! So how much will you sell it to me for ? 
Just kidding. I'm jealous as hell ! Great find.

However, I am concerned about what to do with the propeller...
That was too obvious...I can't believe I didn't think of that. Thanks!

I've never done a turbo or a blower, but it sure looks like a blower is a lot easier than a turbo, especially if you run modest boost (6.5 psi) like I am.
It's not brown...it's sonic bronze metallic...very cool. Ask Ian, he was thinking about getting his painted the same color.
Yes, it comes with the lower intake manifold. This was an older unit intended for a 4 port. I'm currently working on modifying it to open up the port on the manifold to include the auxilliary secondary ports...this is what the guy at Camden said they do to make them fit 6 ports. Then you take out the sleeves.

Your trade offer is tempting...tell me more about your car. I'm probably not interested...I really want to put this blower on! But you never know.

Just an update. I got the pieces I ordered from Camden...ordered them on Monday and got them on Friday. It's been great dealing with these guys. I'm still working on modifying the intake manifold so the seconday port openings are big enough that they accomodate the auxilliary secondary ports. As you can tell from the picture, I'm inexperienced at this type of work, but I'm getting better. I'm almost done with one side...just need to smooth it out a little bit. I went about 0.3" deep into the flange, which is about 0.56 thick. I talked to Dave at Atkins and he said I should go until it's almost cut through, but I'm too chicken.
