    how many various sizes were produced of the original SCOT superchargers?
    Is there any info on how many of each size were produced? If not exact , maybe some general ballpark of how many .

    Shortly after WWII ended, Italmeccania of Turin Italy began producing a Roots type supercharger for various mostly small displacement European cars. Models included 500cc, 750cc, 1100cc, 1500cc, 2000cc and a 4500cc model adapted to the flathead. This firm went out of business and the blower was taken over by another firm and marketed under the name “S.C.o.T.” (Supercharger Company Of Turin)with distribution by Bell Auto in the USA.

    H&H Flatheads sell repop SCOTs and may have more specifics as it acquired the rights? Here's another article,

    The Italmeccanica Company was restructured at some point in time and became Societa Compressori Torino (S.C.O.T.). Damned if I can ID any production numbers

    I've no idea and wasn't aware that it produced them. There was a V8 Ford flat head powered car, the prototype car was Cadillac powered.
