School me!
I know this may be annoying, but could you list the parts needed to place a belt driven procharger or centrifugal system on my 383. I have found a pretty decent deal on a procharger with 1500 miles off a 5.0 mustang. It s cureently an 8lb boost pulley but he has the 10lb and 12lb with it. also what is needed with the fuel system. I am sorry but I am just not that confident I know enough and may be forgetting some items.
I can tell you what I did....
I had a nearly stock 360 Magnum in my '72 Valiant, without a blower. It wasn't very fast (13.35 @ 102mph.)
I decided I could not gather the technical expertise (welding a turbo exhaust system;) I don't have a welder, (and wouldn't know how to plug it in, if I had one.) to build a turbo system.
So, it looked like some sort of a supercharger, for my '72.
I didn't want to maim my hood, so I forgot the Roots or screw-type system. That left me with a choice of centrifugals. I found a new, still-in-the-box V-1, S-trim Vortech on ebay for $1,000.00, which appealed to me. I bought it.
Then, I learned that I also needed a blower mounting plate (which I fabricated, myself) a bottom pulley (for the blower's serpentine drive,) an idler pulley for the belt (I made that, too,) a new fuel system (half-inch push-on hose,) an MSD ignition called the "Boostmaster ignition retard," which retards your ignition 1-, 2-, or 3-degrees, (up to a maximum of 15-degrees) for every pound of boost it "sees" through a hose connected to your charge delivery tube, (YOU select how much retard it gives, from a dash-mounted control knob.) I also needed discharge pipe plumbing to get the air to the carb, a carburetor "bonnet" or "hat", to take the pressurized air down into the carburettor, a $900.00 750 Holley double pumper that had been modidied for "blow thru" by a specialty shop called "The Carb Shop" in Ontario, California... and a Snowperformance Boost Cooler, alcohol/water-injector that sprays atomized water and alky into the discharge pipe to cool it, thereby warding off detonation. A new electric fuel pump was necessay, I felt, because of the increased demand for fuel at higher pressures. That required the purchase of a high-dollar fuel presssure regulator to bring down the electric pump's 31 psi to 7 pounds at the carb. It (the regulator) is boost referenced so that the carb gets 7 psi above boost, no matter what. You don't want this system to go lean....ever. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Are you still sure you want to do this??? LOL!
The bottom line is, I went from 13.35 unblown, to mid-11's and from 102 mph to about 116. A different car, altogether... Yours should do better.
