Looks sweet

Definately sweet.

How about some build details? Would love to ehar the combo, cam, comp, what type of supercharger, etc..

This coronet has 74,000 origional miles on it. It is #'s matching (LOL) I am using another 318,(1967) has 110,000 miles.I am going to see how much it will take close in to stock form. it is going to hava an air to air inter cooler. 600 cfm carb. not sure what 4 bbl intake yet! Im going to enjoy the semi flat hood for a change!

I don't know a whole lot about supercharging but you're gonna need alot more carb, and you might have issues with those cast pistons......

Beautiful car. My brother has a 4 door Sport Satellite w/440

Where you located in WI?

LaCrosse!

It is a paxton Novi 2000. off of a ford V10. it was on there for 6500 miles. he bought it new. said it made to much torgue to pull a skid steer every day!! (LOL) my 318 I will put it on is a old 1967,W/110,000 miles an to toy with. I have another sm block for a stroker later.I am going to try don't laugh to loud!! gas milage. my car is a # matching car. I will save the orig. eng trans. It gets over. 25 MPG including the HR power tour. all 2400 miles of it. fun car But needs more POWER !!!

-600 cfm is fine its a 318 not a 500 cube motor..there are 1000hp motors only running 750s
-keep the boost low, timing low, and run it rich and the pistons will last
- i had a cast piston 360 on 7psi for 2yrs with stock felpro head gaskets and never hurt it, just built a more reliable short block to hold higher boost

do your self a favor and go to turbomustangs.com and receive good advise from people who know what they are talking about

not a big fan of the paxton NOVI blowers, but im a turbo guy..will def be different. Good luck and nice sleeper
