I picked up a used S/C kit this spring, Eaton M90.
but because mp p38 has started drinking her oil and water, so she's getting an engine rebuild over the winter
Jen won't let me go near her DII with 'that mischevious look" in my eyes....
originally for GEMS, should be able to work with hotwire or bosch.
It came with a stock manifold, cut down for hood clearance, and an adapter plenum that looked horrible . I did a bunch of research and the stock manifold is not the way to go. I had a machine shop try some mods and they destroyed it...
Edelbrock makes a carb manifold for the classic blocks that bolts straight up (according to aluminumv8.com guys), $215 through summit, a machine shop should be able to modify it for injectors for about $100 and make the adapter plates to go from the manifold to the S/C.
chariots of fire did the initial install, according to them the GEMS handles it very well without a chip, bosch handles it OK. as long as the engine is sound no mods need done, it only increases peak pressure about 10%, but it's the "area under the curve" that matters.
I have a great book that will come with it, explains everything there is to know about S/Cing and mods to go with it. It has a racing bias, so you have to remember that we're only looking for about 5psi of boost on this engine while reading.
$1000-(I paid $1600 with a worthless manifold...)
