In planning ahead for my 331cu.in. blown Y-Block project, I was just wondering why I couldn't use something like a '68 Shelby pressure (air) box instead of a blower bonnet for the carb. It would seem that with the box I would have more choices for carb selection as long as the bores and mounting locations matched. Also, I wouldn't need to try to seal the throttle shafts and accelerator pump. The bonnet would be easier to set-up, but then you have all the carb mods you need to make. I know the air box isn't correct for the Y-Block, I'm just trying to figure which would be the better way to go.

Thanks,

Rono.

MY SUPERCHARGER BOX IS AS TED DESCRIPED IT, THE SEALED BELL CRANK COMES OUT THE SIDE OF THE BOX AND A CABLE THROTTLE COULD BE HOOKED UP AT THAT POINT. I WILL TRY TO POST SOME PICTURES. TOM
