I bought this 66 coupe several years ago, during my mid-life crisis, as it brought back many memories of the 66 I owned as a senior in high school. It currently has a 347 stroker, which over heats constantly. So much so, that it's not driveable when temperatures reach 100 degrees or higher, which in Arizona is about six months out of the year. Therefore, we will be pulling out the v-eight and installing a hopped up six sometime this summer. While the details have not been decided, we do know it will be a supercharged 200ci. We decided to do a 200ci, rather than a 250ci, simply because the 200's are more common among our customers, with most owning Mustangs or Falcons. Keeping in mind, that our primary goal when building a project car, is not only to show our customers what can be done, but to develop a kit that they can install on their own motors. Hopefully the hard work will already done for our customers, which includes designing and producing all of the parts required for a straight forward and successful install.

Our primary goal is to see how much power we can achieve from a supercharged 200ci, while maintaining the desired characteristics of a daily driver. However, we also want to develop enough horsepower to make a few respectable passes on an occasional weekend trip to the local track. Our biggest decision will be which supercharger to use? While the M90 offers outstanding visual impact, it will be more difficult to install and may require designing and manufacturing a custom intake manifold. And if we want run more than six or seven pounds of boost, we'll need to incorporate an inter-cooler. On the other hand, using a ProCharger or Paxton Supercharger makes the installation much easier. However, they dictated the use of air to air inter-coolers, which are much harder to plumb. The M90 and Paxton would cost about the same, while the Procharger would obviously be the most expensive. The other advantage to using an M90, is that used units are readily available on e-bay at very reasonable prices.

Regardless of which blower we choose, the end goal is to develop a kit for our customers. This is where the M90 has a big advantage. Running water supply lines for the inter-cooler is very flexible and quite simple, thus the kit would suit just about any application. On the other hand an air to air inter-cooler, which requires hard plumbing, would be vehicle specific. As such the inter-cooler plumbing would be the responsibility of the customer.

Drop in occasionally to see if we've started, and follow along as we compare the different systems, and design the necessary parts required for the install. It should be fun.....

We will be adding photographs when we start the project and as it proceeds.
