Sidenote: Curt is correct in that I speak of coolant and coolant lines, but the running of water/antifreeze through supercharger is not meant to cool the supercharger - it is meant to be a preheater via lack of the exhaust manifold butterfly commonly found on exhaust manifold of a non-s/c car.

I also have the patterns to make S/C exhaust manifolds, (exact reproduction).

If you get your car judged, there are a few points that will get knocked off.

Having a GH engine does not necessarily mean that it came from the factory that way, however.

There are reproduction parts available, although S/C intake manifolds have not been reproduced.
Also, there are other ways of determining if the car was a factory S/C. (A closely held secret.) I would have to see your car in person, however.
