So, is that your plan for mounting? Oh and I'm not trembling, get it running, then we'll see.

Looks like a Thunderbird SuperCoupe S/C to me. I believe thats an Eaton M-90...not a bad blower at all. I'd just be worried that spinning a rotary to higher rpm with a stock pully would exceed the max rpm for the supercharger.

How much did he pay? I think rotarydankus either owns or has a key to the back door of the junkyards in his area.

As a matter of fact I rent my shop from a auto salvage yard, very convenient, !!!!! as for the supy it came of a 90 cougar supercoupe that i bought last year from a police impound auction . it had spun rod bearing , but it had 5 speed and alot of other stuff i sold of, and the whole trunk was full of rebuild parts for cv joints, boota cages ***** races hub nuts you name it it was 550lbs worth of stuff, used the fan on the 7 and plan on using the supercoupe injecters and ecm to run the supercharger moter, cause its configured to crank trigger , should be relatively easy to retro fit for a dankus. carl the manifold will be 6'' fron engine to supy, my fabricater allready has the supy outlet built and the piping to the smaller intake ports tigged on , working on the outer big ports now, injecter bungs are located one in each small port and two each in the larger on, im thinkin the charger being self lubed will help in that it can be mounted in about any position, the way it sits in the pic it clears my header, and a friend works for the company that restores stuff for the kansas cosmosphere, you know they did the apollo 7 after it was recovered , any way he gave me some stuff similiar to the tiles in the space shuttle to insulate the supy from the header, now are you a believer?

Dankus, with all your junkyard and homebuilt stuff, there's only one ECU for you... MegaSquirt! I kid you not - it's an open-source DIY electronic fuel injection system:

Clicky

Costs under $200 to build the ECU, and if you've got a buddy who's handy with the embedded assembly language programming, you can make those staged injectors work any damn way that you choose.

Hope this helps,
