Just in case any one missed my last add, i'm after a supercharger, i will be fitting to a rover 3.5 v8 so would like something fairly big, GM471 maybe or a B&m would be great, cash waiting and willing to travel.

I know that people suggested Nigel at UK blowers to you last time but he really is worth a chat. I bought a 6v71 set up that he had put together originally for a Rover so it's a combination that he has worked with.
Very ,very helpful guy....

It was a set up that Nigel had put together for a Rover for a customer who then changed his plans. I bought it from the customer without the Rover manifold as I wanted it for a SBF. Nigel is going to build me the SBF manifold and pulley's for it. (Should have been done by now but life got in the way. Plan is to get him to do things next summer.)
Ring him and discuss things, I'm sure he can help. 07816 777602

are you still looking for a blower?

I have a B+M 144 with small block chevy manifold and cam. might split it if you're interested.
It would need a smaller pulley for the crank as the current set up drives the blower at 2.11 times crank rpm. this gives 7.5 lbs of boost on a 350 cu in so would likely be too high for a rover unless it was over 4 litres.

I've been emailing Nigel at UK Blowers and he can modify an Offy intake to mount this on and supply the right pulley.

Its in good nick, rotors are clean and rotate freely, teflon rotor tips look ok too.

Its worth tapping into Nigel's knowledge at least, He's a very helpful guy, For instance you will need to get the compression ratio down in the 8-1 area, Range Rovers come with low compression as standard handily enough.
