thats the plan use the manifold no heaver that a 471 that they put reds motors just wondering if it will work thanks thommo

yeh it would work no probs and would look great

just run a brace or 2 off the manifold down to the bottom of the block
to help support the weight

the link that thommo put up has some good info but was written allong time ago ,not sure if theres been any thing on normans written since that?

2 would be plenty but 3 would look cool

Is it one of the early normans?
Shure I read some where about needing to inject a small amount of oil into the mix to lubricate them as they were a sliding vane style (only read it so not sure)

Putting a supercharger on a Grey is like giving some 80 year old dude a couple of Viagra's and telling him to go for his life.

It'll be good for a while, then something will let go big time
