Any more pictures of supercharger install along with fitment issues. I am in process of install on 68 rebel wagon. Fits in car really well just a few issues but easy to overcome. What combination is engine going to be??
Thanks Goops

Walt contacted us initially about a bolt hole that was blocked. We looked at the models and confirmed we needed to add more clearance for the power steering in 2 areas and for a bolt hole. There is a 2nd gen bracket system available at the end of this month if your interested we will swap for your set for free. Just a few subtle changes that made a huge difference. For instance now you can add the power steering after the rest is assembled. I plan on doing a writeup as soon as our big machines are back up and running so we can have brackets here to do a writeup on. A 3 phase ripple came through the shop and did 10K worth of damage to our 2 biggest machines. Right when we had tons of works to put through them. So we are trying to get the work on the little cnc mills but they are clogged with work.
I love that car though Walt!

ok i haven't got to the install yet as i was thinking of selling and going turbo. i have since changed my mind. what is this talk of a hole being blocked and what needs to be done to correct it?
i am getting to this project very soon and would like it to be as painless as possable!
Matt, what needs to be sent back to be swapped out for the 2nd gen brackets?
thanks Norm

When the supercharger is clocked at the 10:30 clocking it wont hit any of the spacers. Pics look great!
WALT
Thank you I want it shooting up,thru elbow thru radiator support,thru intercooler out the other side thru radiator support to carb. Hope I have hood clearance, if not make space in the inter fender.

Hi Norm I must have tosed the box ,but I think it fits a big block chevy out of a 78 to 80 pickup.I gave Mat the number. Walt
WALT
Norm I think its a 68 to 80 chevy bigblock.
390spirit
ok, i've got a 89 chevy with a 454 but the pump has a seperate resevoir up higher in the system, i'll check the earlier years.
Thanks again Walt
Norm

Norm I think that might be a better way, to use that remote tank pump, I did not want to put that much $ for one. On the plus side you would half to cut that left [finger] off on the back compressor bracket like did. Walt

[ATTACH=CONFIG]260[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]261[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]262[/ATTACH] Can not find a belt that I like this one is ok but addjustment bolt is all the tight. Might relocate the idle pully on alternater bracket. Happy with intercooler mounting.
jeepsr4ever
Walt here are the belt sizes
K060883 88.43 effective length
K060882 88.3 effective length
K060878 87.82 effective length
K060876 87.57 effective length
K060875 87.53 effective lenght
K060874 87.34 effective length
K060871 87.03 effective length
These will matter if you dont have a stock vortech pulley
WALT
Thank you but belt to close to power steering pump pully and its hits the bolt head next to it. Matt is sending one more idle pully and I hope I can put it like 4 oclock of power steering pully. That would solve both issues.

Had same problem with belt hitting bolts so ordered couuntersunk bolts with allen head centers . These went into front of supercharger and allowed belt to clear heads.I used power steering pump from 08 3500 series GM van. It has remote filler and also accepts my hydroboost line. Only using 2 idlers and seems to fit good. Unit fits good in 68 rebel wagon , much better than i expected .
WALT
Wow I wish I had that info. sooner.I am to far into this now. THank you
