Talkwrench (6/23/2015)
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.htmlHave 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.

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. http://s819.photobucket.com/user/echotoo/media/P1080033_zpsfwqf3im9.jpg.html
