totally awesome, remember Road Warrior where he flicks a switch and the blowe kicks in (i know its fake) but??? throw something and the belt engages??



I actually worked on a project like that... we were
testing on 4 cyl engines with a belt driven super
charger that we used a heavy duty AC clutch to engage
the blower... had a micro switch on the the throttle
to engage it

Nice job! Chassis looks great, How tall of tire? I'd like to see that thing 1-2" lower in the back... but I'm sure it will settle when you start adding everything else... Which B1's are they? How many cubes? How much boost?



Tires are 33" in diameter. The reason it is setting high is because the body shop put it back together like that. She will be lower when it is time to run. The B1's are originals but are heavily CNC'ed. Currently we are setting at 572ci, and for the boost level, there is no target boost levels. Once it is on the dyno there will be a kill setting and and drive around setting. So with that being said, how ever much boost she can create is what I'll run once set to kill...

Really awesome. I see you have Steve's new Provolutes....I can't imagine your engine can't be needing more boost than what you already have...That thing is going to be really sick!!

It has plenty clearance. I thought the same before we trial fitted it, but the provolutes make it a little tight. That won't be a game stopper though...

I realise that's a lot of aluminum but it sure is hanging way out on that stand! Maybe cut a 2X4 to fit under the blower brackets to the base of the stand.....

I just meant the 4 bolts holding that to the engine stand are under stress, not in the car.

Oh, I got you but I left Steve Morris in charge of my build. I'm sure he has a handle on it...
