1979 Corvette Supercharger
Greetings,
Does anyone here have a 79 with a supercharger? I've heard that Procharger makes one that will fit under the hood, but couldn't find the application listed on their Website.
Thanks,
John

I went on their site and ordered their free list of carburated superchargers (two books and a single paper they also send). They have a few that would seem to work just fine. Only problem I see is where to fit the supercharger under the hood of my 80 since its nice and cramped but it looks like it would fit.

I assumed you meant the kind that hangs on the end of the engine like an alternator or ac unit, not the kind that sits on top of the engine. Come on guys, show us your C3s with superchargers.

I was looking at a guy on here's install a while back (he said he fit it under the stock hood). It was indeed under the stock hood, but he had cut the supports on the underside of the hood. There was no way the hood was going to survive in one peice for long.

I tried looking on cardomain.com as I know there was a guy on there that had a 1968-1972 corvette with a centrifugal supercharger(vortech or procharger) but that website has a very crappy search engine and I wasn't able to locate the car.
