Im going to filming the whole thing for my youtube channel. 
Currently just a lowly 290 v8 bored 40 over, mild cam and roller rockers. With a airgap manifold. But i plan to swap it for a 360 or bigger. The blower is a mercruiser branded 144 blower. Just thought tge color and nane looks cool, has the standard 6-71 bolt pattern. But im trying to find a intake that i can cut up to build into a blower manifold

Don't be so hard on your 290, we never hear of Ford people calling their .040 over 289s with mild cams and roller rockers lowly Wink A supercharged 290 would be uber unique, is that the original motor?

Almost 3 years of parts collecting.

The parts list:
-indy mod man manifold
-eddy rpm cylinder heads
-69 390 block, crank, rods
-studded main caps 
-studded arp rod bolts
- 0.030 undersized mains and rod bearings 
- weiand 177 blower, mercuiser edition
-nuts bolts etc. 
-Mr. Gasket dual point distributor. But I'm missing the cap
-B.W. T12 or was it 11? (The cast iron one) build with 2500 rpm stall
Things still to buy:
-timing cover
-head gaskets
-camshaft
-timing chain
-carburetor
-accessory drives
-Valve covers
-Rockers and lifters 
Just waiting for supply chains to catch up and to save more fund but the first part of the build can begin: here's the top end put on to make sure fitment won't be an issue.
