$200+ just in silicone couplers, t-clamps, and boost piping. 
Lol. I'm going to a 80th birthday party today away from home, but buddy says hoping to be starting the truck tonight with belt on the supercharger. I'll keep you guys updated.

So I got it together. I'm waiting on some parts from Summit and Silicone Intakes, all should be here by the end of the week. I got the belt on and fired it up today. Dude, it sounds sick.
I took a video on a somewhat decent hand held, and I got a bunch of pictures, but I can't find my cord..ah stoner

I would have no technical worries until I reached about 350hp. Thats when I'd start the second guess my cast pistons. But, I don't give a poop, I kinda want the thing to blow so I can swap my name V8 in.
You gotta remember, this truck is just a fun big kids toy. I want to go fast and fun, and no worry about beating the out of it. If it blows-o well, I'll fix it

I just got off work. I'm not gonna work on it any more tonight, it's too late. But here's what I got done today before work.
Coil moved, so the intake will fit. It was hitting on the wheel well so I had to take a hammer and dent it in a lil bit.
Got the intercooler mounted. I have to cut the piping holes this weekend, hopefully I'm getting the tool tomorrow night.
I got the coolant over flow tank off, and gotta take off the washer tank too. The intercooler piping gets in their way so I have to remount them somwhere else.
I also got a new fuse box. Mine is trash. Once I get the new box in, and finish up the supercharger, I'm going to clean the shnazz outta the engine bay. It's gonna look real nice!

Progress is being made. Between working two jobs, finishing up school, and partying, I never really have time to sit down and just work on this thing. So, that being said, I threw my buddy some cash and he is fabricating the system for me. He took my truck for a few days. Anyways, got it mounted. I ordered my intercooler piping kit, so I can finish it up. I'm off to the junkyard to piece together an idler and tensioner setup. Once that is on, I can pipe it and it'll be done. I'm hoping engine will see boost within 2 weeks if all goes planned. Got my motor built and now 20,000 miles later I'm finally finishing it...LOL
it would be great of him to join YT and post a build thread. i know it's a lot to ask, time consuming and all, but i'll buy a paypalsixpack along with i'm sure a few others.

Crap.
On my way to my delta house yesterday, somwhere along the drive I lost my oil filler cap, and dumped almost all my oil all over my engine bay and everywhere. Grr. There is a big tick but I'm hoping that its just my rockers bcuz its low on oil. I got a new cap so later today -I'll fill it up and check. Hopefully no engine damage. Dipstick shows empty, but pressure light never came on.
