Thanks Mark...but now that I can see where the blower sits in relation to the exhaust, I hope I can get it in the engine bay of the coupe. I was planning on leaving the hood sides off the car anyway and just keep the hood top so you could see the motor. I'll be running the full fenders, but I think the blower will be above the inner fender panels.

One of the killers of these superchargers is heat and boy they can get hot. I've managed to find one of the oil coolers that they made for these and the Paxton's. It's really a fairly simple device with a tube that has a hole for out and in. Must be a double tube so the oil routes pass through. After that it's just a small cooler and an electric fuel pump. I've also wondered about intercoolers but the consensus is that they don't put out enough boost to make it worth doing. Someday Id like to build a box around the pressure side that goes to the carb. Something easy to open so I could slap some dry ice in before a run. Id love to see if it makes a difference.

I'm taking my 56 up to Bill's soon for some work. All of us should get together soon! Chuck

Chuck;

I've seen drawings of the dip stick cooler and it looks like it should work as you say with a small oil cooler and electric pump. The volume in the S/C head unit is so small, you have to wonder why they don't all burn up. I've to ytalking to a Yblocker in southern CA who has been running the same S/C set-up for 2 years without any problems. Keep the Type "F" topped off and don't over-spin the head unit should help keep things going.

Send me a PM when you are planning on going over to Bill's place and I'll meet you there.

Looking GOOD!! That motor is a thing of beauty and with those internals she will have no problem with the boost.

I noticed there is no distributor in there yet, what are you planning to run, and will you need to boost reference your vacuum advance?

Also, what are your thoughts on fuel delivery (if I missed that)?

Daniel;

I just dropped in the MSD 8383 today. No vacuume advance. I'll be using a MSD 6-BTM to retard the spark under boost. Fuel pump is an Edlebrock high output (150 GPH) boost referenced to the blower. I'm using all 3/8" fuel line. Not sure yet if I will need an electric fuel pump back up, but I don't think I will.

I havn't run it yet but since my driving is 95% street I took out the MSD and put in a Mallory electronic with vacume advance. I need to mention the MSD was never dialed in. I'm also running the 6BTM box. Chuck

That pump will work, but you'll need to "Boost Reference" it somehow so the pressure increases as the blower winds up. (I and Hoosier) use electric pumps and regulators that control the pressure to 5 or 6 lbs above manifold's number .
