Thanks to Frank Lydell up in Rockford, MI, I am well on my way on the blower build. He had the crank pulley, a good bonnet, and a vintage cylinder air cleaner. Ironically, Jerry Christenson put a copy of classified ad in the latest Y block mag issue (#95) on page 5 from a "bunch" of years ago about a guy looking for 312 parts, superchargers, etc. The ad just happens to be the same Frank Lydell stationed on an aircraft carrier in port at SanFran at the time.
But I digress. My question alludes to the VS57 and how Paxton McCulloch addressed the situation of FoMoCo heads in 55 and 56 Fords (and maybe even 57's) on their aftermarket kits. Most of know that you want to run the large valve, low compression heads on a blower set up. But how did Paxton get away with putting a VS57 on a 292 or 312 with C heads, or worse still G heads? Am I reading too much into this, or is the boost just not enough to make a big difference because the VS57's were limited?
