you know, ive never seen a blown carbed 5.0. is it possible? i know i could use a more aggressive cam. but what else could i do to my carbed baby? i dont want to lose her reliability.

There are two types of solutions for putting a super charger on a carbed engine. The first is to run a BDS style blower that sits between the carb and the intake and pulls air through the carb. this just requires a larger carber. The second solution, this works for turbo applications also, is to run a blow through carb and a carb hat that is sealed and is fed by the blower. You can fabricate these yourself (if you are good), or buy them off of ebay.

What he said. There is a good article on the blow through set up in this month's Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords magazine. Actually, I think they have an article on the BDS/roots style blower also.

thanks

Hey, this was the first new post since the new sub section went in! Cool!

If I wasn't such a nitrous junkie, I'd put a Procharger centrifugal blower on my truck. The blow through design of a carbed smallblock fed by a big Procharger is just bad a$$.

On a side note, the carb for a blowthrough setup will be signifigantly lower cfm than normal.

thanks guys, i got that copy of maustangs and fast fords. nice article. it really helped me out alot. so i think im going for a paxton. ill call them monday to find out more details and such. do you guys think ill have issues since my engine is from an '80 continental and not an '85 stang?
