does anyone here have a forced induction carbureted car? I would really love to see some pictures of how you have it set up as i am thinking of getting a supercharger in my 5.0 and wasnt sure how it would still be able to make vacuum with air blowing into the carb other than to put the carb before the intake for the supercharger and compress the air/fuel mixture, but that sounds kinda dangerous. Thanks.

 

go with the edlebrock pro flo efi do you have your carburators picked out and everything??

i already have a holley 650 dp carb, and i have access to a paxton centrifugal supercharger for 325 bucks.

 

At idle it should still make vacuum

 

Read up on how a blow through and draw through setups work. there is a ton of info on the net.

 

talk to Scott (Fordman) he's got a carb'd turbo setup almost done.

 

thanks for the info guys, ima go check that out.

 

well, i checked it out and its stuff i have seen before. i actually want to talk to someone that has done it before. i plan on getting a supercharger and running about 8 lbs of boost on a stock 302 from an 85 mustang. when i bought it the guy said it had been rebuilt about 30-40k miles ago. im not sure exactly what was done to it, but i have heard that a stock 302 can run 8psi all day long, especially when it had an 8.4:1 compression ratio. what i want to know is if there is an easy way to make a bonnet, if there is where can i get the right sized tubing. i also want to know how the car makes vacuum on forced induction cars to run accessories such as power brakes, how would i run the oil lines with a stock oil pan, or do i need a new one. and 1 final thing, will i need to get solid or filled floats for my brand new 650 dp carb with mech secondaries. thanks to anyone that can answer these questions.

 

Thoughts of doing this to my '81 T/A have crossed my mind. Keep in mind this guy claims to have done it for less than a grand and has run a best of 12.07 @ 107.88. http://turbocharging2ndgens.transamc...home/index.htm I know it's a Pontiac motor, but I'm pretty sure the basic principals could be transferred to most any domestic V8. Paxton and Vortech both make blower kits for carbed cars. This guy in Brooksville, Ken's Speed & Machine ( http://pontiacdude.cc ), sells an A.T.I. blower kit for carbed Pontiac's, mainly the mounting brackets are his design, but the carbed blower assembly is A.T.I.'s; it could probably be adapted to other applications as well.
