Someone must have done this
I know I am in in the C3 section, because C1-C2 guys would never do this...
Why can't I take this blower and mount it to my regular edelbrock intake, by way of a custom adapter(I'm a machinist) then make another adapter and put the carb on top???????????

What kind of guys do you think are in C3- you may not find anyone that will even talk about it.
Just kiddin.
It looks small, what size c.i. is it & what is it off incl. engine c.i?
What size engine & C/R is in your C1?

That looks like an Eaton twin screw. It's designed for fuel injection but as a machinist I guess you could make it fit whatever you wanted it to. Would it be practical? Hard to say.

I am envisioning a 3x2 barrel setup, mounted transversely over that big oval hole in the top, wadda ya think?

Verify the rotation direction, the F150 has a serp belt, and they often times spin opposite from what we're used to. Hate to see it spit fuel out the top of the carb (weeeeeeeeeeeell, I probably would chuckle a little...)

It looks just like the stock blower that they remove in this article:

Yes Edelbrock and Magnuson make kits for about 2600. These blowers are usually under 600.
Do you see any reason it would not work???

It's from a 5.4L I have a 355, but wonder if my static C/R is too high. I don't think they make more than a few pounds of boost. I could put thicker head gaskets in. I have .013" steel shim gaskets now.

That is exactly what it is from a Lightning, it's a MP112. Now I'm not looking to set boost records, just gain torque. As far as height, It's thinner than a carb so I figure it will not really be that high out of the hood. I though about the rotation and don't really know but I almost assume they all work in the same direction.

I figured he was right about the sc & got some nos.
F-150 Lightning 5.4-liter about 330 C.I. 380 hp at 4,750 rpm
so it could work on a 283 to higher RPM maybe 5750 assuming relatively low C/R like maybe 9.
Small SC for a 350. What's your C/R?

No I plan just a single 4bbl. Now I have procompAL 195,64cc heads, Comp Cams 280 Hyd Roller. .525 224@.050 flat top with valve reliefs, torker II, All MSD ignition and Dist, headers
Don't know the exact compression ration, but I knew I wanted to get all I could last time I built it so I put the thin shims in. (.013) and the pistons are .025 in the hole, so I ended up with the desired quench or so they say.

At the bottom of this page you can download a DCR calculator that works really well. The page does a pretty good job of explaining Dynamic compression ratio, too:

I've never used this one, but it has a spot to plug in boost as a variable, so give it a try:

one thing that must be addressed is that the lighting supercharger was designed to move air only and the fuel was injected into the intake port at the head.if you put a carb on top of this thing you are then putting an air/fuel mixture through it,it probably wasn't designed to handle fuel inside of it(seals,bearings,wear bars,ect...)might want to set it up like a centrifugal supercharger and a blow through carb that way its still only moving air and not air/fuel.
you might can contact Eaton and see if fuel inside of this unit will damage it.
