On that Flathead, what is the rubber line in the center of the pic going into the cyl head? Is there a water jacket around the intake?
And what is driving the supercharger?
And if you have a look at the compressor wheel you'll see why it was so inefficient. Very primitive, as you'd expect from a pre-war supercharger. https://bangshift.com/bangshift1320/...-supercharger/

Matra V12
These old F1 cars ...look at that thing - he has a bit of plastic or aluminum around his upper body, but he's just sitting in a shallow tub with no protection. The roll hoop doesn't even reach to the top of his helmet.

The coolant running through the supercharger housing was not for "cooling" it was to keep the supercharger from icing up. In a draw through application where there is fuel in the supercharger the temperature drop is so high that it will actually freeze up (even worse in cold, damp weather). If the fuel condenses inside the supercharger it will puddle and if there is a back fire it will blow the supercharger off the engine. Early European SC cars had blow off valves in the intake track just for this reason, it was not for limiting boost it was to keep from blowing the thing UP.
