This is an SC14 Supercharger off a Toyota Supra [2lt] its 1420cc. OK OK I know its not a Frenzel, or McColloch but I have used one before as part of a kit that retro-fits to our Holden 6 cylinders, it was under my bench so thought I would see how it would go. Im sure some of you have cut your teeth on the flathead so... Just for something different.
Roughly looking at it I can pick up a mount of the alternator bracket and also make a mount off one of the intake manifold studs, the other side also possibly off the water pump bolt exhaust manifold or even a head stud?? I do have a few tensioners I could try squeeze in for the belt.
because of the rotation the top is the outlet so that would seem quite simple a few bends and straight in...But the big problem will be the intake, see that last pic, its underneath, so what do I do ? I was thinking an SU carb but how to mount and the heat?? Maybe a blow through might be better.
They do make an adapter for a 350Holley but again because of the rotation its on the outlet side in this situation? The inlet and outlet on it doesn't interchange tho' the inlet I think I can reverse but not that it would help either.. Perhaps one of those offset alternator brackets might put it in a better position?
Well its just an idea if you see any problems feel free to input..

The thing I love about flatheads is that they are clean simple and symmetrical. That blower stuffs all of those traits up! would stick a throttle body off a commie to the inlet and 8 commie injectors into the manifold, the management system will be the expensive problem!

Megasquirt is cheap and do everything what that combo holds but needs a lot of reading and learning.
Roots and flattie sounds a hot combo.
So maybe the water injection would be something to cool it down.

How about a split plenum bolted to the standard inlet, hole/tube in the center for the boost with a couple of carbs either side (4 single barrel strombergs . Tubes running down to the blower inlet from the plenums.
Talkwrench may not be even considering injection, but;
Mike Davidson/Flatattack, is running modified commodore brains for his injection kit. http://www.flatattackracing.com/products.html
Have been looking at Megasquirt for an injected, supercharged, coil on plug Y block. A mate is running Wolf on his Lexus powered boat, this has also worked well.

Yes the injection is a bit over the top for what I'm thinking.. I do like the idea of running multiple carbs in in a different configuration, I know its not the best looking setup but trying to make it easy so no great machining work needs to be done, the hood is down all the time. I made my first mistake the engine turns clockwise so the inlet is at the top, some sort of multi carb hanging off that might be cool..
Water injection is relatively simple to setup if required..
Still weighing up the pros and cons..

This is what I have for a flattie. would love a very basic old T bucket with flat power! Then, there is no filth or speed limits on the water.

This is a local one, he got back to me through the HAMB. Im starting to move away from the idea, I may collect things and over time return to it. Reality is I use it everyday when not raining and its mainly to and from work, Im still quicker through traffic than the slugs that drive around here anyway.
