I know what it is not. Its not a old Judson superchargers.

He had a couple of the needle bearing cranks. The ones the you can run a real high RPM's. Not good for drag racing but Thunder Hill, Button Willow the are great or maybe even on the road they were something else in there time.

I was more or less curious if the supercharger was initially designed for a VW or something else and just adapted.

No old school VW stuff. Its an interesting story, family was involved and a bunch of super cool VW parts. This is a roots I am not to sure what a Judson is but I believe this one has better boost. I believe the Judson was a low boost blower, with that said if it did 4 lbs of boost that was 10%.

So a supercharger just uses a belt to spin a blower instead of using exhaust flow right?

All I can think of is Mad Max...
