Those of you who know me know that I have been working on my blown stroker motor for my 37 coupe project for some time. Well, as hard as I tried, I just could not get the set-up to fit in the narrow engine bay without modifying or removing the front fender, neither of which I wanted to do. So, I need to sell the complete set-up and go with the YBLOKE intake and 4-71 supercharger.
Here is what I have;
Completely rebuilt VS-57 (serial# VS-57B 5504) modified by John Erb to SN-60 with new ball drive, spring pack and high output impeller. I have drained the Type F trans fluid out of the unit for shipping purposes, but it does hold 9 oz when you go to fill it. There is also a good dip stick to check the level.

The complete REX High performance supercharger kit which includes all the brackets, pulleys, drive pulley coupler, tensioner pulley, carb hat, K&N Air Filter, drive belt, hardware and installation manual. Gord McMillan made the carb hat and main bracket using a sand casting technique to keep the "old school" look which includes small pits in the aluminum. The main bracket is 1/2" thick which I did modify slightly to try to clear the fender, without success. None of the mounting locations on the bracket have been modified and I did make a cardboard template of the bracket if you want to make a new bracket out of plate aluminum or steel. I did polish one side of the main bracket and the top side of the carb hat which took quite a while.

The installation manual was very easy to follow and also included instructions on how to boost reference the fuel pump, set up the carb and distributor and discusses the use of a spark control box. Gord McMillan was also very responsive and helpful and I am sure he would help you with any questions you may have. Pulley ratios and boost pressures are really engine specific. For my motor we chose a 29T blower pulley (top) and a 41T crank pulley (bottom). Pulleys are 1/2" pitch and use a 1' wide drive belt.

Below are pictures of my completed set-up so you can see how it would look (motor not included) and also pictures of the individual components. In order for me to replace this set-up with the YBLOKE intake and 4-71 set up, I will need to get at least $2,500 for my set-up plus shipping. If you check the price of the REX High Performance supercharger kit alone you will see that this is more than fair deal. I'm sorry but I will only ship to the lower 48 states. Shipping will be in two separate boxes; one box for the supercharger head unit and the other for all parts and the manuals. I'll say the cost to ship the two boxes will be a flat $50.00. If you are interested, send me a PM or respond here. Thanks,
Rono
Just a final note; the very bottom picture shows misalignment of the carb hat to the supercharger. This was because I tried to use a carb spacer which I really didn't need. When I took the carb spacer out everything aligned perfectly. Also, the motor was test run with the supercharger in place and no issues.
