Weiand blower set up/th350 transmission
It was bright powder coated (basically like a polished finish in powdercoating). It is for the pre 1986 SBC with long water pump. Included is the blower with cable adjuster, intake, and the belt and pulleys to make 7-10lbs boost. Some coolent leaked on the intake and the blower isn't perfect either, but it may be able to be cleaned and they will look about the same as in the picture when installed even if not cleaned. Rotors look to be in great condition, but it would be a good idea to gap them properly once again to be sure while it's out of the car anyway. I have the feeler gauges and instructions. The blower gasket I also have in new condition (not supposed to use sealer on them). It was always torqued properly as well. They take very little torque so as to not warp the blower case. PM, reply, or email at JohnNeville@Gmail.com if interested. $1400 shipped to lower 48.

Powder coated with overdrive pulleys and belt? I see $2000 for a satin blower on ebay with the pulley and belt + shipping and powdercoating. If you're interested, email or PM and we'll make a deal. I need to get rid of this stuff.

Let me put it this way, I moved the control arms down with brackets and have adjustable uppers in my G body and it's set up so the rear end lifts at launch (100+% antisquat) so there is a lot of traction and since I've swapped this set up with a performer intake I can barely spin wheels because of the set up. With the blower I could punch it from a stop and spin wheels straight through every gear of my 4 speed shifting my self or leaving it in drive without holding the brake. Yes, lots of very fun low end torque 
I suspect if you were to gap the rotors to spec it would be more powerful. I never gapped them close enough probably.

Feel the same way about my eaton. Almost went with the 177 kit but the Eaton M112 was the same exact price and i'm very happy with it.
