Re: paxton supercharger help!!!!!!!!!!

can you be a bit more specific when you say the bracket doesn't fit?

Also seems to me that w/a few measurements any competent machine shop should be able to make you a bracket. What did the Paxton come out of, do you know?

I was going to point out that you are young and need to read more, but when I was 19 I was building engines.

I think you need to read more, and not pay a shop to wrench on your car.

Post pictures, ask more questions, and be humble.

Re: paxton supercharger help!!!!!!!!!!

i would have to agree somewhat with anesthes.. do more research..

but anyway.. its obviously a paxton and youre wondering where to get the bracket from?? many car enthusiasts know that paxton is mainly a ford company.. so make sure you have a small block chevy bracket and not a ford one.. and installing superchargers into these cars is sometimes not a "bolt on" deal.. you have many issues like accessory placement and belt alignment and type..

do research and use common sense.. you asked where to get a PAXTON supercharger bracket.. google is a great research and reference tool.. use it.. as well as the search function on this board..

good luck
