Default Vortech carbureted supercharger kit

http://carcraft.com/projectbuild/116_0309_afr/
saw this article in the latest car craft and Im starting to wonder how hard this would be to duplicate. It looks like it should fit under one of the turbo hoods ACI or Vanacour produces. But if I were to go this route is there stuff I could improve on short of going to a custom block. 496, intercooler, bigger or smaller headers, bigger or smaller carb, bigger heads, different cam??? Im looking to get as many ideas and suggestions as possible.
car is a 74 bb, automatic (converter not bought yet) with 373 rearend gears.
thanks for any help anbody can give
