That's going to be a real nice car. Can't wait to see more of it.

Don't think I've ever seen a TBird air cleaner siting on top of a supercharger. Neat! Always thought a YBlock in an A would be fun.

Nice setup. I'm working on the same setup for my 56 Victoria. Where did you get the V-belt plies for the supercharger? Also do you know a place that has spares for the Grant/Spalding? Specifically looking for some of the internal rotors. Chuck

 


Y's guys rule!
Looking for McCullouch VS57 brackets and parts. Also looking for 28 Chrysler series 72 parts. And early Hemi parts.

Looking good you guys! Hope to be getting back on my 37 coupe this spring. It will be good to compare notes with you 471 blower guys!

MoonShadow, the pulleys are a stock 2 sheave add on to a 1 sheave stock crank pulley plus a scruby crank pulley redrilled for the blower. MIKE

Mike;

Just curious what you used for motor mounts for your Model A? . In my 37 coupe I used a cut down tubular FE mount welded to the frame rails.

Rono, I used a truck front mount and am using a truck stick trans bellhousing. Hopefully these will post right side up!
