Re: Supercharger help!

I'm surprised nobody responded to this.

I'd buy one of these for SBC if available. I could ditch my FMIC and mile of intake tubing in favor of a small heat exchanger (most of them are water cooled).

The supercharged ford stuff is pretty impressive. Can't believe I'm saying that, but yeah, I wish someone made one of these for SBC.

A 6.0 swap with a mild cam and blower would make great reliable horsepower in a street car.

Hrmm. I'm not aware of any SBC roots style blower with fuel rails. Looks like maybe a modified M90?

I'd think anything smaller than a 177cid wouldn't make much power on a v8 without spinning the crap out of it.

Re: Supercharger help!

they do but its custom job and expensive

Whipple 305 series blower which has 6-71 style bolt pattern. You can buy the rear entry style throttle body. Not sure if it clears the distributor. May have to go 24x cam sync style efi to delete the dizzy and put cam sensor on the timing cover

Get a blower shop b-7104 base manifold and use the nozzle tap locations for custom injector bungs. Thats the custom fab part

Then they bolt together.


Its easier if you have a bbc lol they sell a whipple lower intercooled and injected base. Very popular in the marine world

Yup, we ran a lot of water cooled (superchiller) 4-71 and 6-71 on BBC jetboats in the '90s. Can't run that stuff anymore. Speed limits on all the waterways now, strictly enforced.

Mangacharger made a MP-112 in 2007 that had a SBC EFI lower. I've found a number of pictures and magazine reviews on it, but can't seem to find any people who actually bought it. Sounds like they did a lot of marketing but then never went into production.

I don't know much about the eaton blowers, but I know edelbrock and others make a SBC MP-112/122 lower manifold. The blower itself is carb.

Couldn't one put an EFI MP-112/122 upper on a SBC lower and just weld injector bungs? Or is the bolt pattern for the case different depending on the application?

I don't know how much power you can make with those little boys, I think they would be done by 500-525hp, but I guess it would wake up a mild 350?

If I cooked my 412 I'd probably just get a junkyard 6.0, do a cam and a maganacharger. I bet it would make the same power and idle better.

Re: Supercharger help!

I dont know much on the magnuson stuff. The whipple would support near 1200

I dont know much about the magnachargers cooling system, but wouldnt a centrifugal be more efficient heat wise?

Of course, but the packaging is cleaner on the magnacharger, and the intercooler is integrated. No bracket flex, piping, etc.

Depends on what the goals are of the builder. OEM switched to these eaton based superchargers be

The MP112 is around 60%, where your V3 is 78%. The MP112 is 820cfm where your V3 is around 1100.

But then again the water intercooler is more efficient than no intercooler, or an air/air

Depends on what you wanna do.

Re: Supercharger help!

They are very compact, i will give you that. I wonder if they will ever switch to centrifugal that mounts in a OE style bracket.

Doubtful, they ran centrifugal blowers in the 90s on Ford applications, and some european cars.

Centrifugal makes more power, efficient power, but the packaging is sometimes tough.
