if you go to groups.yahoo.com look for a group called "carbureted blowers". It hasn't had more than about 5-6 posts in the last couple of years, but when it first started (in the 90s) it was called 'blowthruturbo' and the archives of it contain absolute truckloads of info about blowthrough carb setups. There is in fact some discussion of drawthrough setups. I'm not sure if the archives are searchable without joining the group, and since the group has been somewhat 'dead' for a long time, I don't know if the moderate still visits there so I can't say for sure you'll be able to sign up and be approved.
There is also a site called 'vs57.com' (if I'm remembering it accurately) that had a bunch of info about the mc-culloch/paxton superchargers from 50+ years ago (factory fitted on some studebakers among others). There was a lot of carb info on that site too, if it's still there.
There's also a forum called 'turbomustangs' that has a blowthrough carbed section with lots of info. (Drawthrough is arguably a little easier for a first time setup, but blowthrough has some advantages). If I ever find enough free time, I'll try and do a how to write up, but I doubt I'd get it done in the next few weeks! In the meantime those suggested online sources should be a good place to start to get a foundation of how/why to do it.
