I know what superchargers and turbos do, but I have a few quick question regarding applications.

I haven't done any looking, yet, but out of curiosity, is there a supercharger for a small block with a carb that doesn't stick up through the hood? A low profile supercharger of sorts.

If not, are there other options for using forced induction with a carb?

Also, in either case, can anyone recommend a good setup?


Thanks.

 

Check out Vortech, ATI or Paxton. I know Paxton has some setups for carbed motors that will fit under the hood but as to the others I am not sure.

 

Holley (b&m) makes a 144 & a 177 blower still I believe. Check with summit or jegs.

 

I remember seeing pictures of a Magnacharger 112 kit with a carburetor on top.

 

magnacharger makes a MP112 kit for the gen1 SBC

procharger makes a kit and it uses a elbow/hat to feed the air to the carb

holley/weiand make a lowprofile blower.


at a car show one time i saw a 77 chevy truck and had a high-rise intake with a butterfly scoop air intake and it fit under the stock hood....

out of the choices, id go with the magnacharger,the only one thats intercooled

MP122

 

my bad

even betta

 

Wow, that's a long snout on that drive pulley

Are there any issue with having a drive that long?

 

My snout is that long, and I have no problems with it. Then again, I'm not a supercharger.

 

Lol. There is a support bracket for the snout, you can see it in the pictures.

I didn't know that was a 122, I would jump on that kit!
