Yeah I am pretty sure the cooler would fit fine, it's just a w2a core like you guys run. We run into bonnet clearance issues if we have too thick a core as the snout is lifted where our bonnet slopes downwards. Our a2a design would need a fair bit of modification for you guys, and I don't think it would really be worth it.

I would love a six speed, how hard would the change over be?

ooo that hb looks nice 8)

Wait, why would you overdrive the HB? You'd be spinning all the accessories faster, not just the S/C, and adding load. The usual method is to overdrive just the S/C pulley, by making it smaller... :?

Only the supercharger drivebelt is overdriven. It doesn't run anything but the blower, all the accessories are on the inner drive:
Attachment 41892

It also allows me to run an 8-rib belt supercharger belt and is SFI approved.
