Do a search on this forum for DASC or Downing Atlanta.  I called them a couple of weeks ago, they are no longer making the kits for the M42.  A major supplier to them gave up (forget who) and they never got the air / fuel ratio correct iirc.

^Weaksauce.... that was in the plans for my car next summer.  I'm highly disappointed.  Now I'll have to figure out how to go turbo I guess.  Hello MS.

I am hoping they will still sell the manifold. This way, we could look for our own chargers. M62s are rather plentiful.

easy answer -
Eaton, maker of the M62 twin-screw super charger has stopped producing this SC.
therefore - DA has stopped making their kits, since the whole design was set for working with Eaton's M62.

my suggest to the ones who wants such kit is to ask DA to sell them all but the SC, and than go to a wrack-yard or used parts place and get an eaton M62 SC.

+1, or simply search them on ebay... you need to know the right nose lenght because otherwise the pulley will not align;)
so ask at DASC support or forum members the nose lenght of their supercharger, to see if that lenght is being used on production cars...
