Vortech V1-SC for EFI on a carbed motor?

[1991notchbackLX]

I have the chance to pick up a Vortech v1-sc for pretty cheap, but it's designed for EFI and my motor is carbed. Is it possible to modify it to run on a carbed motor with a blow through carb and a carb hat and some changed piping?? Thanks in advance!

I dont know if it matter which supercharger you use, you might need one that is ok with a little more back pressure, but dont listen to me, Ive never really screwed with any sc combos

Snap it up dude! I really don't think the SC cares whether it blows into a throttle body or a carb. I did it with a SN93 and it worked fine for me. Here are some cool carb pics but using a box instead of a hat: Carbureted Mustang Supercharger Systems | Paxton Superchargers

So you took a Paxton SN93 supercharger designed for an EFI motor and made it blow into a blowthru carb and it worked fine for you? Did you have a problem with boost leaks at the carb hat? What carb did you use? What kind of power did it make and how was it tuned? Do you have any pics of your setup? Please post up some more info. Thanks!

Sorry, it was short lived due to finance, no numbers just seat of the pants experience. I used a power tube I got off eBay into a hat on regular Pro Form carb. Wish I had more info, I sold it all shortly after I put it together due to a family emergency.

You should be good to go with a carb hat.
