no it is not possible to supercharge a 350. the kiniflin rod that controls the exhaust valve actuator cannot handle the exhaust gas temperatures that often reach the temperature of the surface of the sun.

actually you can do whatever the ****you want to do with a 350. probably one of the most modified motors on earth, if not the most modified.

I bet it's a close call between the 350 and the ford 302 for the most modified engine. You can buy performance parts for a 302W at pretty much anywhere.. 7-11, Walmart, Target....

dammit why didn't gm keep producing their own 302.

our cars would have been so much better if there was a 302 in them.

The ONLY way to super charge a 350 is to purchase a "Forged Knudsen Valve" from: www.KaleCoAuto.com

Good Luck!

You also have to keep the blinker fluid full or the steering column will melt from all of the Knudsen Valve residual energy.

See, the problem with recombobulation is that no one can combobulate as good as the factory combobulator. Your still gonna run into decombobulation trouble.. plan on replacing your discombobulating discombobulator and recombobulating the whole combobulation system every 8 or 9 months. If you really wanted to, you could always swap to a non-combobulating combobulator. Its expensive, but itll save you the money of recombobulting that damn decombobulator every time it gets decombobulated.
That should help aswell.

make sure you get a good muffler bearing if you super charge it though. All that air flow will wear down that stock muffler bearing.

That killed me, I laughed for about an hour. Sorry, to the guy who asked the original question, but this is how we learn I guess

I was thinking of strapping on my leaf blower to the throttle body but that long extension cord,.... well you know the joke
