What Supercharger / Manifold Is This - Rover V8 ?

[V8RX7]

I'm clearing out an old mechanics garage and this is one of the items, I presume it's a Rover V8 manifold ?

The charger spins freely that's about all I know, can anyone add any further information ?

Thanks

It looks like an old Wade RO34, used on Ford V6 and Rover V8s. Although the max rpm was OK, sustained rpm was lower.

Certainly looks like Rover V8, from the manifold pattern.

Agreed, yes.

Oh, I believe it was from a diesel lorry engine, hence the low RPMs.

Wade blowers were used quite a lot in UK Drag racing in the 70's and 80's so it could have been made for that.
