Reply to "superchargers"

Many have done this. Back in the '80s, Steve Wilkinson adapted the Magnecharger meant for the low-hood Corvette onto quite a few Panteras. In a Pantera, the dual roots blowers are turned backwards and are driven off a jackshaft from the crank via a couple of Gilmer belts. Carbs are Weber side-drafts and the whole rig fits under the engine screen. One member adapted GM TB injection to the twin blowers. And I've seen a B & M blower mounted on a Pantera and driven off the front of the engine, but the big 4bbl Holley & its air cleaner stuck thru the screen. At least one member is now building a Pantera using the factory-blown 351-W from a Ford "Lightning" pickup truck. Single & twin turbochargers have also been used both with Holleys and with fuel injection. Biggest problem isn't getting a supercharger on the engine; it's keeping a stock 351C block from failing from the extra pressure as the cylinder walls are none too thick. Good luck.
