[88] eventually!

thanks 4 the info on the heads guys, as im still learning, this stuff is handy to know.

Well there has been little progress since I found out there has been another hurdle (always seams to be the way). Where my cars are living peacfully in the back yards carport, will soon be a double story duplex if the landlord has his way. So ive bitten the bullet & Im moving to Bathurst, this is good news for the cortina seeing as that is where it came from (& still has the Clancy Motors Bathurst sticker on the back window).

The motor is still refusing to budge. So the motor that was going to go into the escort will be going into the cortina to speed up the process. Now that im selling the escort aswell the corty may get some money spent on her in the way of go fast bits to keep in the ratter style of, doesnt matter what it looks like as long as it goes fast. Still undecided on what to do but a period turbo setup would be cool. Any other Ideas out there????

Turbo is good....but a supercharger is real period stuff. I personally would use a small toyota blower and dress it up accordingly.

Most pre-70's hot cars used superchargers as turbo technology was seen as being exotic. Either way it sounds like the thing will get some decent power....something mine lacked!

sounds like a plan jason,ive been sussing them out and they arent that dear. its something a bit different too. I want to put this car on club rego so I need some proof that people out there did this mod.

Does anyone have any period advertsements for people that did this mod or simmilar cars that had this done to it.

g'day Neale. I've thought of doing this to a kent motor too. I know I've seen some articles somewhere around the books mags etc.

There was this one on 105Speed about a Shorrock supercharger on an Anglia.

That's an interesting pic.....one that hold a lot of interesting little features.

You could easily substitue the Toyota blower for the Shorrock unit - they even have a similar 'webbed' outer casing. Grab a 2-inch Jag SU carby and fabricate the piping etc and paint it all a dull grey color.....use some rubber hose and period clamps and find a Ram-flow aircleaner and BINGO - period supercharger set-up.



Food for thought!

I had a look at one of those toyota blowers & some of them have a clutch setp that allows you to disengage the blower when you want. Good idea for long freeway trips to lesen the strain on the motor.

plus as a bang for buck mod, double the power for around $500-$600, sounds good to me.
