Mike,

If that engine is a 2011 it is most probably one of the earlier n/a versions of the engine with a blower added on after the fact, which means it will have the powdered metal cracked cap connecting rods, n/a pistons and a tune for n/a operation not supercharged operation. Additionally later heads (2014 and later) have better valve train. The earlier heads can be upgraded to later heads but that is one more expense to consider. The cams are the early generation Coyote cams and while not bad are not as good as the later generation.

If you ask the seller about these things my guess is he will claim ignorance and not be able to give you a substantive answer. That could either be because he is attempting to be deceptive or it may be because he really does not know. Either way, unless the price is very low you would be better off buying a current production version of the engine because the cost to bring this engine current with the correct supercharged components will end up being non-trivial.
