Very cool result.

From a car show in northeast MO over the weekend. I think you all will recognize the engine.

Too bad it's a fake. Nice Mad Max on/off setup with the AC clutch. Real carb is in the box under the blower. Stock exhaust manifold and puny exhaust pipe really detracts. I give it a 7 for style and a 1 for function.

Hey gts225, that blower is BS. It's been questioned here before on another post. The guy hits a switch and it starts to spin, like Mad Max. Same post does show a guy with a BIG supercharged slant on an engine stand running. Don't recall which post though.

Relax, guys. I know it's all for show. The original one-barrel is tucked up inside, and the guy uses an A/C clutch in order to spin what's left of the blower.
As for wondering if it runs, I don't know. Didn't see it running, and quite honestly, that's the only pic I took of that ........."car". I'll let you draw your own conclusions after considering my last sentence.

The youtube video of the blown Slant on the stand is Terry Littlejohn in Newfoundland - the real thing and I think he runs 11s with that setup.
