Not sayin' that I'm going to do anything but I was just searching around and found:

and other Eatons.

What do you look for in a supercharger (if you're going to "go there")?

Ask about if the blower has any kind of rattle noise while it was still on the car before it was removed.
Why they took it off.
Try and look at the general condition of the blower. Missing paint? Is it really dirty? That just shows how well it was or wasn't taken care of to me.

The number of miles on it, any play with the pulley/rotors...See if there were any other size pulleys installed on it.

How dirty/clean is it. You want as much teflon on the rotors as possible, this is a big tell of age. Does it have the original pulley or an aftermarket. If it's ported, make sure it's a POSI or Stiege port, not a home job. Most do not know wth they're doing and f it up. Try and get as many parts with it as you can (gaskets, plenum elbow, intercooler, throttle cable bracket, bypass actuater, etc.).

Not that big of deal but I'd want to know if any of the threads for the intercooler are stripped. Try and get the bolts.

For sure, ask me how I know... :(

FWIW, after doing my swap, the Eaton is prolly the last thing I'd go after if I were to do it again.

I'd start with the brackets, lower intake manifold, intercooler AND the I/C water manifold, the I/C to S/C bolts, and the S/C to LIM bolts, and then start looking for a reasonably priced M112. My :twocents:
