supercharger do i dont i???
hey guys im in a bit of a dilemma ive been offerd wat looks like a magneson supercharger and a four barrel carb bolted to a 3.5 rover lump with low compression pistons standard cam all the pullys tensioners and plates belts looks a bit rough and ready with engine build frame and loads of extras for £600 but i want to rebuild it and make it look nice and shiny but my mum nd dad arnt happy about it is that a good buy cheers guys would appreciate some info on what to look out for aswell thanks .
£600 for the lot seems a good price, im not sure what to look for as i know nothing about superchargers, a supercharged v8 all shiny does look very cool rich

i now own the super charger cool
hey guys ive now bought the lot . but im a bit unsure about what supercharger it is because they look the same on the outside but ive only got two finned rotors if that makes any sense i think it been reconditioned a 100 miles ago and its going into i hope a mk3 cortina coz i like the classic ness about them and big drag type tyers on the back with a jag gearbox should cope with the torque shud be a lot of fun

ok guys i asked for that i did mean the poxy boy racers but as u guys have the big toys all i can do is buy a chevy small block 6.2 or summat with sum sort of yank transmission i really shud of learn to walk before i run and yes i thought ur comments were but im here to learn so soz
some pictures would still help
Learning is the fun bit, read all you can, there are loads of good books on the subjectand you can always google. There are the past threads on here which are pretty informative, look at what others on here have built Big al dart for instance (his is a pretty radical drag engine), Tom's MX5 engine and a couple the Nederland guys have build good road going supercharged engines.
Best regards
Mike
