ok...my 355 blew up las nite....so now i have to get my new motor in but its bult for a blower....dont have money for a 4 grand procharger....so im wonderin if i get one of these supercharger carbs...can i run it wihtout a blower until slap one on....or it wont run good wihtout boost throught it...anyone know>?

 

Don't have one, personally, but from what I understand of them theoretically, I'm not coming up with any reasons why it wouldn't work.

 

The fuel curve calibration of a "blow throu carb" is different enough to warrant building a specif carb for this application.
If this carb would be well matched to a N/A motor then there would be no need to offer such a special calibrated carb for blow thru application in the first place.

So... in a word ...no its not going to work well.

Since you don't have $$$ for the blower now, just get a carb that is well matched for the motor you will be running NOW and worry about the future, in the future.

if $$$'s are an issue, you want to have a engine/carb combo that is easy on fuel or you'll never manage to get the cash together for a blower, because it will all be going in the tank

When you do finally get the blower, sell the carb to someone else with a N/A motor and get a blow thru carb.
Whats the matter with using the carb off the motor that just came unglued?

 

im gonna use a roots type blower...so its gonna be suckin the fuel in ....anyway....i dont feel like puttin a old *** 750 holley to feed my new 20 000 motor....i rather get a new carb...once...not twice....

 

The pull-through carbs need to have the power valve referenced to manifold vacuum/pressure.

As 'Bird said, it won't run as well NA because of calibration, but what I was trying to say is it will run.

Run well, no.

Run, yes.

 

If you somehow spent $20 grand on an engine, what's another $350?

 

.

 

not that much more...but since its the holidays i spent a ****load of money already....and plus...i dont wanna buy two carbs when i can jus get one....but tahnx for ya answers

 

If you're not going to take the advice, then why ask the question? If you have already spent $20k, then what is another $4k. Some how I feel you are exagerating what you have spent on the motor.
