update on project supercharger

WEll due to recent schedule changes (got a job) The supercharger is still in about the same spot i got a machined adapter to bolt the base onto the intake now to build the adapter to go the other way from supercharger to the carb. I have done alot of research and found that there are eatons made to go this way. suck through that is. nice thing is the adapter is set up with tons of water jackets and some nice external adapters for soem inter cooler piping. hopfully by oct this thing will be on the road, WEll sterling whats your llooking like? i just have a few parts left and then it is onto testing. how are you? granted i only have 2 days off a week but now i make some money so i may have to pay for some help.

thank

Wise ***.

"WEll sterling whats your llooking like?"


Mine still looks like a pile of junk on my work bench.
I have everything I need except TIME! I've spent most of my free time getting my 82 up n' running so that I can drive iot in the winter. (My 85 is in GREAT condition, and I want to keep it that way. The 82 is not. Winter means salt, gaurdrails, and big fat ******* SUVs driving like their in the Dakar rally.)

I plan on using all the 'dark down time' that wonderful Mr. Winter brings, and having it ready to rock n' roll by spring.

We'll see. Maybe I'll just wait to see how yours turns out!
If you blow it up, well then I just won't do it that way!

I have been watching on ebay, and judging by pictures of Eatons with what looks to be varnish in them, I figured they could be set up in draw through fashion.
It6'll be really great you having an M-90 draw-thru, and I an M-90 blow-thru. Then it's dyno time!
I'm really interested to see what sorts of differences each setup makes with the same boost.

Either we'll each have to do it both ways, or we'll have to meet at mar3s house. (It's cool. He said anyone could crash there whenever they want. and for however long they want. His wife loves to cook and clean up for long staying guests!)

I'm sorry, but once you cut the front frame rails and dropped in the aluminum Merlin 547 cid big block chevy with a motor plate, I was no longer interested...not even at $150 for everything including the 6 point cage and Jag IRS transplant with titanium half shafts...
