Reply to "superchargers"

Summit and JEGS have NOVI Superchargers that I think can be installed where the heavy A/C compressor is now. On page 97 of the last JEGS is a picture. It looks like an alternator with air plumbing, but it's available for 1964-68 Mustangs with carburators. A supercharger that therefore would almost or maybe bolt straight up to the 351-C. it's the NOVI 1200 and is good for engines producing up to 600 HP. Some challenges would be the bracket by the pulley, air ducting that looks good and proximity to the header. You could just order the part and don't scratch it, and it it doesn't fit, just pay shipping back, and you have a year to return it. If it fits, start looking in junk yards for brackets from 351's or any engine that would work. Maybe you and I get lucky and a Pantera vendor has the right item(s) available ... save some time in the junkyard! Lots of time. I know a guy has a supercharger of this type in his '95 Cobra, and it rips. It's tight under the hood, but it fits. Maybe he had to take out the A/C, I don't know.... This is a project I'd like to follow up on, so if you figure it out, please tell how you did it! I'll look and see if I can find more information to report back too. I figure the supercharger can be used on a 351-W or 4.6 at a later time, when the 351-C expires. This is what will make a Pantera accelerate 0-60 in the 4 second range. I'm interested! I'm investigating this 2006 or 2007 project and it'll get done, like those other guys. I haven't seen a supercharged Pantera for sell ever, since 1977 when I first started looking. Now I know why. 0-60 in the 3 second range possible? Sweet sensation.
