the parts ive got are...
supercharger
the pulleys to go from crank to driveshaft (various different size multivee pulleys)
drive core converter for the supercharger (chaw'ed from work)
bearings to be used on the driveshaft (aircraft ones)
the drive belt. (just a multivee belt really)
the belt tensioner (as the supercharger will be independantly mounted from the engine)
various bore hoses
carburettor plenum (made it myself)

but.. the bits i dont have are
- a blow off valve. i want a valve that opens and closes electronically and is capable of flowing a good amount of air. this is so that when the thrttle is in idle position it will operate a switch to open the valve. YA DONT WANT BOOST AT IDLE SPEED DO YA!
- bearing housings and suitable mounting plates. i can get these made or do some of it myself
- most importantly a driveshaft. i can gat a friend at work to make one for me on a lathe
but its these parts that are holding me back or it would be done already and i could give you guys something to look at. as yet i dont have pics but i'll be sure to take some of the bits and my car. i got some of the engine build in progress but i'm 300miles from home at the moment so it'll be wednesday.
take care everyone. happy tuning
PS i might introduce a bit of ganja smoke induction just to chill it out when im not bootin it.
