Now that my '65 has been done for a year, been to the road course a few times, and is running like a champ with the Systemax / EFI setup, I've come to a critical conclusion:

fasterer is betterer

I searched on this and didn't find the answer I was looking for - who's done a centrifugal supercharger install on a 5.0 (or 351)EFI in a '65/66? My concerns are all packaging, since all the kits on the market were made for fox or SN95 cars. So:

- Intake pipe looks like it would be a tight fit to the passenger-side shock tower. I found one post where the author said he removed the EGR spacer to make this fit. Anyone else have experience with this?

- Thinking about the usual candidates for the blower - Vortech S-trim, Novi (1000 or 2000), or maybe a Powerdyne BD... What packaging problems? Possibly insufficient room for the alternator underneath the blower? Hood clearance?

- Whatever else I'm not thinking of...

Anyone done a write-up on an installation like this? Thanks Guys!

Someone has done it according to my database. Unfortunately I didn't include an email field in the DB for you to contact them. People are sensitive about giving out their email, rightly so.

I'm curious, Edelbrock makes their own EFI kits for SB Fords that look real nice. They look a lot like a carb set up too. Could you use say a Paxton Novi on it? The I know the Paxton is made for carbed cars, but the physical setup looks very similar. Just a thought.

MYTOYS had a sweet 66 fastback with a supercharged EFI motor. Everything was polished. I haven't seen that guy in a long time. If you want to talk EFI and superchargers I'd ask on the 5.0 foxbody section. The underhood clearance issue is something different. I'm putting a Vortech on a 351W in a 66. I have the head unit mounted and already know I'm going to have a hood problem. I'm trying to keep it somewhat of a sleeper.

Interesting suggestion, but I'd hate to trash the EFI system that's already on the car and working great. Thanks!

Will the poster on the stanginfo.com supercharger table please step forward?!

Here's the EFI unit I'm talking about:

I have no idea if it'd even work though. I'll probably look into it.

I think I found him on Corral.net. Good website with pics that answer my questions almost exactly. Thanks for the tip?
