BBF (429 /460) blower stuff is really hard to find. You almost have to go new, unless your really lucky.

For new stuff check out The Blower Shop ( http://www.theblowershop.com/homepage ), pick a kit and add $600 to "upgrade" it to work on a BBF.

$4500 on Racing junk (http://www.racingjunk.com/category/1275/Blowers/post/1861294/BIG-BLOCK-FORD-429-460-THE-BLOWER-SHOP-871.html )

Or Dyers ( http://www.dyersblowers.com/1694.html ), there BBF kit is $3800 (polished / 871)

It wasn't so much the cost of the blower equipment for the Ford that worried me when I looked into doing it, it was the ignition issues. An offset or tiny dizzy/mag or crank trigger system seems to be required to make it work.

If I did it, I was going to do two of them in the Shrimpin Boat project, so double that cost.

Let us know what you find out.

Or get a longer belt and stick a big intercooler under the blower.
