The main problem when using a super charger.
The snout will not line up(too short) for the blower to be centered on the intake manifold,it does not have to be,but would nice if it could.
B&M used to make all kinds of length blower snouts that were used w/there blower.
Second draw back or should I say hard to line up,,,,you need to make sure your belt is lined up perfect,or else the belt will get thrown off or move a few ribs when using serpentine belt.
Here is a manifold to bolt onto the 194-292 engines,but I am not sure B&M makes the blowers that used to work on these manifolds.

I only seen one guy here in SoCal that ran a B&M supercharger.
IIRC, Mel Petterson ,worked for SOCal edison.
He had made an adaptor plate & used the Clifford intake manifold.
The B&M was the 144 CI one.
It was in a very nice 5 speed manual 1966 Red Nova maybe 67? ,Been in a car craft magazine for a street car shoot out.
It did not fare well in the 1/4 mile in the mag test,had problems, about 14.3 in the 1/4.
It also was bad in the salom course,typical of a standard Nova those years w/stock suspension.
I have the Car Craft mag somewhere & this info is from the top of my head.
I had talked w/him @ a local Car hop Named Kevins burgers ,nice guy Mel.
