Thanks for the compliments. Still working on the carb. I may be better off selling it and buying a smaller carb already setup for blow through. According to Procharger a 950HP, basically brand new, should work fine for low boost. Not sure I believe that.
Not worried about the pulling air from above the headers. One, the opening at the wheel wells is quite large and next to the air cleaner. Two, I have a 4"core intercooler and the air that comes out feels like it is refrigerated. Nice thing about a big ole A-body is there is lots of room to put stuff in. I think a 70 Monte would be a great car to run a big block Chevy supercharged with all that space up front.
As far as specs, the motor is a 462 CI (7.6L
) 70 Buick. All ARP studs and bolts, balanced, forged pistons, ported stage 1 heads, SP-1 single plane manifold, headers, Cometic .070 head gaskets to get the compression down to 9.2:1. Also has all the oil mods that a Buick needs and a 7 qt Postons girdled oil pan (no longer available.) If you need more pics there is a thread here
http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?t=185358 Best place for Buick info but not that many that run a Procharger.
I saw a 69 Z28 this summer that had a F1 Procharged 572 in it. Had a Tremic in it and the owner said he runs 28 pounds of boost
Not sure if I believed that but was a bad a$$ed Camaro
You have a good site here with real car guys and not a lot of BS. I will keep in touch and let you know how it runs.
