You can tell if it's a standard deck or tall deck by looking at the distance from the water pump mounting hole to the deck surface

I loved the feel and sound but my NA engines get me where I want to go, just as fast and will last longer before I need to tear them down. Do the homework and do it right the first time.
i must disagree,a supercharged engine that is built correctly with the right high quality parts will run many trouble free hours and to make the same power with a n/a engine it will cost much more money to try and make the power a good supercharged engine will make.to say that a blower is hard on internal engine parts is a general statement that is usually incorrect.

Thank you to all that replied to my questions. Based on your questions of me and feedback I realize that I am not ready for such a task and probably would have wasted some $. I'll do some homework and try this again next winter.
Regards,
Shawn
