As I posted it's presently on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170313398798&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&viewitem= It isn't mine but I thought it should be brought to the forum so we can all see it and have some discussion. Is this the "new silver bullet" many have been waiting for? A way to put a modern Paxton on a Y-Block? I'm no expert, but other than the blower unit itself it sounds & looks like a workable option.

That is Gord from Calgary. He is in the same league as Mummert for Y-blocks just went blower route. If some of you old timer Y-block magazine readers remember he used to be a regular contributor

Gord seems to be a nice guy. He listed a complete system a few months ago and even has a working dual supercharger system on a Y. He set me his installation catalog with step by step details and it appears all the parts are included but no price was given.

Gord is a great guy, I bought the complete supercharger kit you're talking about for my '56 CV. I've been chasing some upgrades (MSD distributor-radiator etc.) but should be installing the unit in mid April. Gord has been very helpful and patient with my stupid questions. I will take pictures and report my progress as the installation goes forward.

Bump= To nudge.....
BUMP is a forum term used to Bump a topic back to the top of the topic board.
Same as TTT ( To The Top)
I'm sorry that in today's society, they've been teaching us to make things shorter and to the point.... :-/

I would suggest you give the seller an ask a question. I see Gord has relisted the kit so should be easy to get a hold of.
Here is a link to the new listing

I do not have any interest financial or otherwise in this kit. I just know Gord from being a fellow y-block guy.

OK, the S/C is in and running...it took my brother and I 3 1/2 days (12hrs ea.) to get it all in there, we had a bunch of wiring since we put in all the MSD stuff - what a chore. it goes off to my buddies shop for some tuning today. In the weeks to come I will be tweaking the belts and pulleys to get the boost coming in right. This really isn't a race a car - not with a FOM in there, I am limited by the cam too...i am a cruiser mostly I just wanted to have some more power so I don't think it will ever be tweaked out for max power...anyhow...if there is ever an event closer to southern California...I'll be there. out

What kind of compression ratio can you get away with on this setup?

These replies should be going in the Technical section rather than in the Classifieds. Start new posts when applicable rather than ‘hijacking’ existing threads.
