87 t/a 350 blower

Hi everyone. I have owned my '87 t/a 350 for about 13 years now. A few years back, I went through the motor and rebuilt it. Forged bottom end, Trick Flow 23 degree heads, custom Crane cam, stealth intake, airfoil, afpr, larger injectors(30 or 36#'s..have to look), headers,etc....I was looking forward to adding a blower at some point. I program my own prom's, so tuning is not a problem. I converted from the 700r4 to a t5. The 9-bolt rear is now worn out and will be replaced with a 9" ford. Frame is tied. Anyway, my goal is to run a forced induction setup. I was wanting to keep it simple and reasonably priced. Personally, I'm a fan of supercharging. I can get a serpentine setup from my friends junkyard to convert from the v-belt system, but if someone has a v-belt supercharger system they would like to part with, let me know. I have no problem converting to the serpentine either, so if you have a kit available, shoot me a message.
Lastly, I'm also interested in your experiences of converting the '87 to be able to run a supercharger. Any points of interest would be appreciated. If there are prom changes to take into consideration, let me know that as well.
Questions I have are about running a FMU, timing retarder..etc..
Thanks, Chris. c_lehman67@hotmail.com
