Twinnie--does that fit under the stock hood, it looks like it does but I wasn't sure.

Has anyone tried a 350 w/ a TPI unit plus a blower (C4 style)?? This seems like the setup to me. I was thinking a 383, w/ high flow heads an a TPI unit with maybe a Paxton supercharger. Since I got rid of my clutch fan and fan shroud, I have tons o'room up front (no P/S or A/C).

Would this setup fit under the hood of a C3?:


Has anyone tired a "carb" style supercharger with either a Holley TBI unit of Edelbrock fuel injection unit?

I have a Paxton SN60 kit to put on the 69. I will be putting it on my 412 small-block (not built up yet). I will take some pics of the brackets and blower this weekend if I get some time. I will not be doing it for a while. I gotta put the LT1 in the 71 first!

Yes, that setup will work well. Centrifugal blowers work best with fuel injection.

In that first photo in this thread, it looks just like the Paxton setup on an Avanti with an R2 engine. I have an R3 and it has a full carburetion box enclosing the entire carb. unit, Shelby Mustangs had the same setup too. Is this a debate mostly as to if it'll fit with a big block motor or any C3 Vette motor?

The debate has turned into whether it will fit in any C3, and now if it will be driveable or not.

The air intake is right over the headers!

Does all of that fit under a stock C4 hood?

In regards to drivability, who has experience with a supercharged C3, regardless of style and configuration?
:D

Yes, the filter is over the headers but not that close, looks worse in the pic than it is. It all fits under the stock hood :)

I have a pic of a twin turbocharged C2 somewhere and maybe a whole lot more in old mags. :)

I'll take a look and see what I can find.
