Paxton kit on an LT1?

Does anyone have pictures of, or know of any links to pictures of a Paxton supercharger kit on an LT1?

THANKS!

Re: Paxton kit on an LT1?

There's not much to see, especially from the bottom-side. Here's a pic

Mine isn't stock though. I have long-tubes, so the first big change was creating a new #1 slip-fit primary to work around the paxton tubing. It's jet-hot coated to match the headers.

Next, I replaced the Paxton elbow (~135 degree bend) with a Vortech elbow (90 degrees), a 45 degree rubber elbow to put the MAF after the blower, and a hump hose to reduce the 3.5" MAF to the 3" paxton tubing.

Later on, I tig'd an aluminum tube on to the paxton tube (before the MAF) to attach a surge valve to release extra pressure when the throttle blades are closed (vacuum present in the manifold). This is not shown in this picture.

No pics of the bottoms side. It's just a head unit bolted to a bracket, bolted to the block.I added a hunk of solid 3.5" tubing to replace the MAF in the supercharger inlet tubing.

Do you have any pics of the kit on the motor, or the kit by itself?
