Lightbulb Good buy?

Came across this 1990 bronco today and im interested in makin a project truck, i want to be abe to offroad and since its not the greatest idea to play with my daily driver i could get this, hes askin $2000
And how hard is it to hook up the supercharger after adding the "bearing kit"? idk anything about the superchargers and i dont want to get ripped off
I can get other parts like the vitals he talks about for cheap so if those go out im not worried. Let me know what you guys think about it
---Heres the description----
This Bronco has high miles (400,000) but I believe with engine was rebuilt by prior owner. Runs great. This is my daily driver. 351w with powerdyne supercharger. New high output alternator. AC was converted correctly and blows very cold. Micky Thomson Classic lock wheels. 4' lift with new 35' BFG AT's. The supercharger is not connected right now because I wanted to put a bearing kit in it. Almost all vital components are new such as Starter, Battery, Distributor, AC pump, Condenser, Fan clutch etc.. Power Flow exhaust with Headers. It needs carpet and some interior cosmetics done. I put a Ford 9' differential in and it needs to be re-geared with 410's in order to use the 4 wheel drive. I have a extra third member ready to be re-geared. Again this is my daily driver and it is turn key. All break components are new but it does need new from disk rotors soon.

dont worry that was an outrageous price for a 400,000 mile truck. i wouldnt give more than 1000 even with a rebuilt engine. everything else wears out too. also i didnt think you could put a niner in a 87-96f150/bronco cause the speedo hooks into the rear end and trucks built with niners had the speedo cable hook into the trans/ tcase tailshaft?

Its been a while since Ive seen a Bronco without rotted 1/4 panels but I guess never sitting long would preserve them.

BTW OJ's was a '92-'96 style.

I'd really like to know how he's driving with supercharger "not connected". Hard to get air into the motor without turning the supercharger. It looks good, but it doesn't sound to promising mechanically.
