LT1 383 Blower Build
You got to call them. Best to just send your bracket to them for them to modify. It's in the 600 range if I'm not mistaken. Ain't cheap but if you throw a few belts, you'll have already paid for it.
This will be my official build page for the rebuild of my 97 Trans Am. The engine that was just pulled was a stock shortblock with a a head/cam nitrous setup. It ran well but I figured its time to step it up.

Flux capacitor or hopes and dreams my friend. EWP and the EFI Connection setup. Never had a problem with my factory opti taken out in working order at 73k. It even went through a water pump failure. 
Any work on the engine bay planned? If you paint it... you can wax it!
All that stuff is making me want to go out in the garage and just start tearing the car apart with no plan for what I'm doing, dang you Brian 
. You have made a ton of progress in a short time. Are you going to polish the F1A? When did TPIS start making a billet timing cover?
More pics or ban

Freakin clutch order got botched but is back on track. Should have been in my hands now.... With the holiday next week, doesn't look like I will be able to get the rotating assembly balanced next week. Guess I will organize the garage.
more part ****....rod bearings, ARP head studs, super damper, oversized BBC crank hub, and misc gaskets came in today.
It's a little bit bigger

And so it begins...
Let me just say I hate piston rings and it will be too soon if I ever have to gap them again. This process took most of the day but nothing to rush here. I will work on this more tomorrow as I took the day off of work to keep playing with it. Everything was within spec and went together fairly well.

Haha, I have the brass freeze plugs but its a not a big deal either way. These were installed by the shop that did the machine work. Brass can get loose overtime anyway but in the end, either is fine so I didn't see a need to swap them.
