No. Uses barrel type springs. Is that from your rod?

No for the FC  but a little concerned about the solid centre   ...FC427....

what turbo is that? and where did you get the manifold done? looks amazing!!

[FC427]

It's a B&M 144 Supercharger not Turbo  manifold is from Mark at Aussie Speed with an adaptor I made  to mate the two  I will  put some more shots up over the weekend ....FC427...

[scarface]

awesome! yeah i didnt know why i wrote turbo for hahaha. i knew it was a supercharger, i think i was coz i was lookin at turbos for my mates sylvia s14. but yeah, looks incredible! cant wait to do somethin like this to scarface!

how much for the manifold? and how did you mount the supercharger into your engine bay.

Say if u had a blown grey in 1960 before adr's and the laws about turbos and blowers etc, then how could they prove it and wouldnt that mean u dont need a engineers certificate? is this wishful thinking?

Blower as still allowed  ;D ;D spoke to an engineer last week about this   as are V8's up to 312Ci in NSW at the moment as no laws have changed yet.......... if you had one fitted in 1960 it would be up to you to prove it was in place then .....FC427......

[fe350chev]

surely there is some way with all this technology  :D

[FC427]

Finally got some time to dummy up the blower on the old engine to see if it fitted under the hood ..the 45mm Weber's that I wanted to use fowl but the 750cfm Holley fits with air cleaner  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D.now to change it out . ;D ;D ;D...FC427....

cant you lower the engine mounts if it only a small amount

[FC427]

I need about 30mm and when the engine torques it comes up on that side even with the link I have made for the engine mount to limit movement  .I guess I could mill a little of my blower adaptor a little of manifold,and a little of carby manifold lower the engine 10mm and it might just fit  ::) ::) ::)but I'm just getting lazy in my old age  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D......FC427......

I see the cause of all your problems now.......... you've got the wrong red motor!  :P  :D

Kathi at least the colour is right and if it destroyed another engine  with larger Ci and more cylinders some one may have cause for embarrassment  ;) ;) ;) ;) ;).....FC427......

[NosFEratu]

well well well..... did I just feel the slap of a glove across my face? or was it just a wet fish?  ???
